We still buy the bag lettuce. I love the variety with the field greens and the baby spring mix. These make such lovely salads. I'm more apt to eat mixed greens than just salad made with head lettuce. I've read too many articles bashing head lettuce for not having much nutrition. The darker lettuces and other greens are supposed to be better for you. It's way too expensive to buy bunches of the variety you find in the bags, so we continue buying them. I just try to serve at least a small salad at dinnertime every meal.

There's no need to throw out bread.

Yes, we throw some stuff out but not that much.

I do agree with you Bev,
Maybe we'll give bagged lettuce another try on the weekend.
Thanks for the helpful reminder :)
