Have you tried buying just enough lettuce for a single salad? or carrots and maybe some fruit? You don't get fresh foods single serve. but the grocery store isn't making a single salad, they're making 20, and they're not paying the same price for those ingredients they're selling them to you for. Those ingredients cost them a fraction of the listed price. Also, I'm a single person household and I eat a breakfast and a mid-day meal. If I want a salad for that meal, I can get the ingredients fresh. In there smallest amount that's like, 6-7 salads that only really stay good for like, 3 days, so I don't buy salad ingredients. That's a potential lost sale, but if they have pre-made salads I'll buy some because it won't wilt before I eat it, so they have another sale from me! I promise, the math works out easily.
...yes? You can buy as much or as little as you want, they charge by weight.
The ingredients are not expensive, the labor is.
Where do you live that you can pluck off a couple leaves of romaine and leave the rest? It's not a butcher where they cut off what you need. You buy a whole head of lettuce. The cost is by weight, but there tends to be a minimum from the size of the food. Do you know how much you get from shredding a single carrot?
What are you a rabbit? You gonna eat a couple Romaine leaves for lunch? You can't eat a head of Romaine over the course of 3 meals? 🤔
What are you a rabbit eating a head of romaine in a day? Throw in some veggies and nuts, it doesn't take a big salad to be filling for me. And I like variety in my meals, not just salad for 3 days. And have you seen the size of a full head of romaine? Not that "hearts of" romaine shit where they pull off the real leafy outsides and definitely costs more. A whole head is huge.
Listen my guy, it's okay to just be like "I guess I was wrong. They brought some good points to explain why raw fresh ingredients do cost more than a premade salad, plus he definitely has even more boring ones that he didn't bring up because it's unnecessary. I don't need to latch onto the eating habits he mentioned to turn the conversation away from my incorrect assumption."
No one is making this shit up. You've had 3 people tell you how they personally have bought both options and found that buying pre-made is cheaper. Your incredulousness doesn't change that. I've worked in produce departments in years past and I understand both the ordering process/prices and the how the labor is actually spent in making those salads. Your inability to comprehend is a you problem.
My God, what an arrogant twat. Goodbye 👋
