Packaged fruits and vegetables are usually cheaper than pick-from-pile. Because it somewhat limits your choice.
Peppers are a good example: nobody buys green peppers if they can avoid it. That’s why they sell sets with red/yellow/green.
(I hope “peppers” is the right word here. I have been somewhat confused by America’s use of pepper/pepperoni/paprika)
- DoreenMichele 7y agoPeppers looks like the right word. Pepperoni is a type of sausage typically used as a pizza topping. Paprika is usually sold in the US as a spice, not as the fruit/vegetable.
- kenhwang 7y agoFunny thing is my grocery store doesn't even stock green bell peppers anymore, probably for that reason. Makes the value even more biased towards the grocery store since it's cheaper per pepper and you don't get stuck with the undesirable green ones.
