It's counterintuitive, but apparently shelf life trumps low cost of production. Apples last how long, two weeks? Meanwhile pasteurized apple juice can sit for

  I highly recommend getting a big freezer if you can, it saves so many shopping trips for fresh vegetables, and the frozen ones are basically just as good. Pre-cut onions, herbs, cooked rice etc - can be prepped well, and only need heating up for a quick meal. Greens (leaves) and raw potatoes don’t work though.

  Apples last a long time if you discard the bad ones quickly. I eat apples up to a month after buying them. They're still edible even then but I don't like them when they start to get soft.

  > Apples last how long, two weeks? Apples last months as they contain pectin.

    The gelling agent? How is that supposed to help when they rot?

      Pectin in apples is a stabilizer and is actually how humans discovered that some fruit jam has a very long shelf life.

  Some types of apples can last through winter if stored properly (even without refrigeration), I would assume it would depend on the climate though. IIRC they tend to be quite a bit more sour so probably not to popular just because of that.
