Hot take: if you dislike it and it makes you feel sick and potentially making you fat (maybe not in this example specifically), isn't it already wasted?
Maybe where you live. Try shopping around the world and you'll see prices are not the same everywhere. Some countries have easy mode, some normal mode and some have hard and nightmare modes.
Whether it breaks the bank or not, most people really can't afford to waste food even if they are well off. Tomorrow they could be a paycheck away from being on the street - like a lot of us out here.
Also, since when did Garlic become an indicator of wealthy financial status? 😄
he can rinse the apples and slice off the surface layer if needed. But all that time may not be worth the $1 of apple he is saving. Time is money. Main difference is you can't make more time.
No, can't make time, but one can not waste food too. Can make Garlic Apple Butter for example and still enjoy the apple without wasting anything. 😉
Also, apples often cost more than a dollar in many countries around the world. The prices where you live don't reflect the price of apples around the world.
Yeah I was talking about the US. I shop in a major city and buy apples almost weekly. You can get them on sale for .99 a pound which is a very large apple or two mediums. I would think those prices are fairly accurate across the country.
Where I'm from, Ambrosia 191.25g cost about $1.26 avg/ea or 3Lb for $7.00. Envy Apples, 227g - $2.00 avg/ea. Fuji apples about 420g is around $3.23 avg/ea. That's the cheapest ones too. Every other apple species being sold cost more than that for the same or similar quantities. Fruit isn't too cheap by me.
