Rant: that dollar store veggie tray from last Tuesday wrecked my whole meal plan
I grabbed one of those pre cut veggie trays from the Dollar Tree on 5th last Tuesday to save time on dinner and about half the carrots were slimy by Wednesday morning. I checked the date stamp and it was fine, so it was just how they had been sitting in the case. Lesson learned is that dollar store produce that is already cut and bagged is a gamble. If you are building meals around cheap veggies, buy the whole ones and chop them yourself. Has anyone found a dollar store in the Midwest that actually rotates their fresh stuff?
