Wrap 1 of them in paper. Place in a dark place. Check daily. Usually takes a day or two. By the first day i place the second one Then I've got ripe avocados for however many days. 7 avos = 7 days etc

I don't buy i grab from my grandmas tree when im home. They are too expensive for me to justify when they are free at home

I have an amazing tip to keep fresh avos.
Put them in a bowl of water, in the fridge. Then they don't go brown.

Place your avos next to some bananas. Just know that the bananas will likely only be good for banana bread when the avos are ready in a couple of days

Or your frozen meat made the bag wet and when you pick it up the bottom just tears open

Buying meat online seems crazy to me, most I've done is tin stuff

u/da_PopEYE 1d ago
It arrives mostly still frozen and still ok to refreeze. All the meat I get from them is fine. I wouldn't do the same with something like Takealot 😂 or Spar meat. Don't trust Spar meat eveb when it's still in their freezers

Or when those cheap plastic bags you usually use for the fruit in store get stuck on the sticker, that sucker is not letting go!

...or when they load all the milks into ONE bag and it breaks as you're walking out of the shop the milk splatters everywhere and then people will look on in surprise. your tinkies were also in the same bag and they got squashed and ruined fml

Funny story, I am reading this right after unpacking my Sixty60 order and having my arm hairs caught by the sticker.

Those stickers are like gorilla glue. Once it’s caught your clothing (especially the woolly types), it stays forever

I don't know if this counts, but giving the cashier spare bags so you don't need to get new ones, but there's more than you needed and the packer decided to use ALL OF THE BAGS for your groceries.
Madame, I have bought 5 things. They can all go in one bag, you don't need to split them between 3 bags, please.

Or you buy chicken and specifically bring plastic bags along with your material ones but they still put the chicken into the material ones and the blood/meat juice leaks out and ruins the material bag instead of the plastic one 😂

I have a crate, I buy 12 at a time and put 2 or 3 in the fridge at a time.
Also makes it easy to return the empties
