She said buying whole carrots, celery, and onions and cutting them myself would save a lot. I was skeptical because the pre-cut bags looked so easy. Last week I checked the price for a bag of chopped carrots versus a whole bunch. The whole bunch was about half the cost for the same amount. I spent maybe five extra minutes with a knife and saved about three dollars. Has anyone else found a simple prep step that really adds up over time?
