Today's tightwad tip is a bit on an unusual, as we're not necessarily saving a lot of money, but you're still doing the environment a favour.
Ever seen very sad, lonely bananas waiting for someone to grab them? That's probably a familiar sight in a lot of supermarkets. Most people will buy bunches of bananas, as those look more appealing, plus some people might think that those keep well longe. But did you know that I general, those single bananas are thrown away at the end of the day? That's indeed very sad. Whenever we see single bananas, we tend to buy those so that we'll avoid food waste. Wasting food isn't just what families throw away in their homes- the supermarket contribute a lot to food waste, too. Even though I don't think that as a costumer that's my responsibility, but sometimes it's just a very small thing we can do. After all, less food waste (and thus less environmental damage as a result of that) will benefit all of us.
If you're lucky and your supermarket has a reduced rack, you can do that too! Unfortunately, they don't really do that here, so that's not an option.
I saw a box of black bananas yesterday, sadly. I love a good ripe banana though. 😋
ReplyDeleteThat's a good thing when you're suddenly in the mood to bake banana bread but don't want to wait until it's ripe enough! 😅
DeleteI often pick up those single bananas to add to a small bunch. Harvey really likes a banana a day and trying to find 7 in a bunch can be difficult.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
We have the same problem! We usually need 6, but there are hardly any bunches that have 6 bananas. So we usually end up buying mostly single ones.
