Blew $40 on those fancy pre-cut veggie trays at the Safeway on 8th for a weeknight dinner rush
Turns out the 99 cent bags of frozen mixed veggies at the same store do the exact same job and last way longer, so has anyone else fallen for the pretty tray trap and got a cheaper swap that still gets dinner done fast?
Man, the pre-cut tray is such a scam once you do the math. Did you actually compare what you're getting by weight though, because those frozen bags are mostly water and the veggies shrink down to nothing after you cook them? I'm curious if the fresh tray gave you more actual food per dollar or if it was pure convenience tax. What did you end up doing with the frozen stuff, just nuked it straight or did you throw it in a pan?
