I used to think buying pre-cut veggies was smart, but my grocery bill told a different story
For years, I grabbed those bags of chopped onions and peppers thinking they saved time. My weekly food cost was about $120 for just me. That changed six months ago when I lost my job. I started buying whole vegetables and a cheap knife. Chopping them myself takes ten extra minutes, but I save nearly $15 a week. Now I put that money toward better ingredients. Has anyone else found a simple prep step that cut their costs way down?

Laura_white99 has a point about time value. But that ten minutes of chopping can be a mental break. It's active, not just staring at a screen. The money saved adds up to something real, like better meat or cheese. For me, that trade is worth it every time.
