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.

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