Recently, in a store near my house, where I always buy fruit, I bought a pack of kiwi. I brought it home and left it on the table. And then he found her in the trash.
It turned out that when my wife began to sort out the purchases, she noticed that out of 8 kiwis, 6 turned out to be spoiled. Although, when I bought it, it seemed to me that the kiwis are good, ripe and not wrinkled.
But my wife opened the package and showed that the kiwis are good on top, and that they are all rumpled on the bottom, and it is clear that the product has already begun to deteriorate. I do not like to go and figure out why I was sold a spoiled product, I just stop going to such a store.
Actually, I have long sworn to buy prepackaged fruits, but this time I forgot about my reasons. It's time to remember, and at the same time to share with you.
No way to choose
I love choosing fruits so that each fruit is ripe and beautiful. To make the perfect cake, all the ingredients need to be beautiful. With packaging, it is not always clear what kind of fruit is inside.
You can buy spoiled
This reason follows from the previous one. Since you cannot touch fruits from all sides, it is easy to be deceived and buy spoiled ones. Sometimes the seller, without knowing it when packing the goods, spoils it.
For example, ripe strawberries can be easily spoiled by simply pressing them tightly against the substrate with cling film. In addition, with such packaging without air access, the fruits deteriorate much faster.
A lot of recyclable materials (garbage)
A couple of years ago, my wife and I began to separate the collection of recyclable materials and try to minimize the amount of garbage - packaging that we buy with food. Packaging is, of course, convenient for the store, but it generates a lot of waste that could be avoided by buying bulk products in reusable bags.
Now, if you were offered 1 kg of kiwi for 30 rubles in film, or the same amount of kiwi, which you can choose yourself, but at a price of 45 rubles. Which would you choose?
I think it's better to overpay than to buy a pig in a poke.
