Need a little direction on your road to Tightwad? Welcome to Tightwad Tip Tuesday!
Whenever I purchase fruit by weight, I count the pieces of fruit in the bag. A 3lb bag of apples can have anywhere from 9 to 12 apples in it. Young children especially, will rarely finish the larger size apples, so you might as well get the greater number of servings. I try to buy the smallest bananas for the same reason.
If you love this tip, I read it years ago in The Tightwad Gazette. Be sure to check it out!
