When at the grocery store, you can often buy pre-bagged produce...such as a 10 lb bag of potatoes or a 3-lb bag of apples and you buy them by the bag (for instance, this week our Food Lion has a 3-lb bag of tangerines for $2.99).
Well, they probably do their best to weigh and get each bag as close to the predetermined weight as they can, but you just can't be spot on every time. So I weigh the bags now.
Yep...if I'm going to pay $2.99 for a bag of tangerines, I would rather pay $2.99 for a bag that weighs 3.01 lbs than one that weighs 2.86 lbs. I get more for my money that way.
So it seems silly and maybe a bit picky, but I think it is smart use of my money, so I'm doing it.
What about you?

That's a great idea! The Happy Housewife taught me that you can freeze bananas. Just peel them, put them in a ziploc and put them in the freezer. So if I get bananas on a good sale, I buy extra and freeze them for smoothies.
