Shop to Avoid Leftover Fruits
"When estimating the number of servings from fresh fruits, allow for waste - the inedible parts, such as parings, trimmings, cores, and pits."
Our Homemaker Heroine is having a rough time with her grocery shopping.
Yesterday she had some vegetable issues.
Today she is contemplating her life decisions.
"Why didn't I just go for that math degree? I went and got an Art degree and now I'm unemployed staring at fruit for 30 minutes while the produce monger wonders when he should call 911 on the weird lady that won't put the raspberries down."
I have no problems saving money on my fruit shopping.
Here is a tip.
Buy what you and your family likes.
One day I went to the store and bought some grapes.
They were gone within two days and that was with me hiding them.
I just got some pineapple and I can guarantee you that will last me all week as I will be the only one eating it. The kids expressed their immediate disgust when I offered it to them.
Bananas are hit and miss.
Sometimes I can't keep them around and other times I wonder what is that black goop in the fruit basket. This also happens with clementines as well.
Apples are only eaten if I cut them up first.
So I buy apples if I feel that I won't be lazy with them.
You can also take this tip from my January Post about making a fruit cocktail.
Some fruit will go bad after cutting but if you add some acid or sugar to the mix it will slow the process from exposure to oxygen in the air.
Okay people.
I hope this helps you save time and money at the store!
Don't spend too much time and having anxiety about how much fruit to buy.
Go in with your battle plan!
