Weigh those bags of apples too if there is a scale near by. Sometimes you think you're buying 5lbs of apples but sometimes they weigh less. I usually weigh 2-3 bags and take the heaviest one. They all cost the same get the most for your money.

I freeze bananas that are getting to that “too ripe” stage and use them for smoothies and banana bread. BIG thing I did was take actual inventory of my freezer and pantry. It’s AMAZING what one has and doesn’t know/remember it. Helps with shopping too and restocking. Bought a small handheld sealer on Amazon and I am thrilled how easy it is to work at keeping my food fresh. I also divide up large items into meal portions, chicken breasts, tortillas, pork chops, etc. that come in a large package. Thank you to all that gave me new ideas. 😊

Your wonderful! Very specific helpful tips, much appreciated.

Another reason to feel/smell your produce is to check ripeness. Sometimes you need something ready to use that night, sometimes you may want it for the end of the week, one needs to be ripe and the other not quite. You can't put that in instacart. This is one reason why I prefer doing my own shopping. Save those instacart fees. Keep one eye on the register (Id have put those cherries back!) and another on the bagging. To many times I've found potatoes and bread in the same bag. I don't know about you but I don't like squished bread, fruit, broken eggs, etc. Its much easier to do that while checking out than have to go back.
