It’s The Little Things, Like Baby Carrots


I was at the grocery store last night. Just needed a few things like milk and a few fresh produce items.

First I went to reach for the baby carrots like I always do. They sure are convenient, aren’t they? And the price doesn’t shock (at $1.69 for 16 ounces) UNLESS you happen to notice the “other” carrots…

A 16 ounce package of “regular” carrots (unpeeled, not in cute baby-size chunks) is only .89 cents. Literally, half as expensive.

Yes, you have to peel them and cut them, but isn’t that what you have kids for?

Someone once said “Take care of your pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.”

They’re right.
