This is a question False Economies

Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

bagged salads
convenient, yes, but you can pretty much buy the veg fresh and you'll get a lot more for your money and it lasts longer.
also, when you open those bags, the salad smells like breath.

Yeah, but it goes off quick, dunnit?
If you only need a salad for today, they're quite useful.

i bought
lettuce, cucumber, beetroot, peppers and onions on saturday and used them in a frittata earlier. still perfectly fresh and likely to be for the rest of the week

bagged salad wilts quickly and gets very unappetising

So, you watched Channel 5, last night, then?
Surely the point of bagged salad is the variety of leaves, often far greater than that which is available fresh at the same retailer?
(I helped save b3ta! monster munch person, man, woman... camera... TV?, Mon 30 Jun 2014, 15:03, closed)
no, i watched evil dead 2 last night
i generally avoid channel 5

I think it's so you don't waste half an hour and £5 worth of water washing all the pesticides off the component parts

Do you trust the bagging company to wash all the pesticides off bagged salad?
Besides, modern pesticides are systemic, so aren't sprayed on your lettuce anyway. they're added to the irrigation water, and sit within the cells of the plant.
