Only when I am buying a veggie or fruit platter for a party or a work event.
Sometimes I'll buy broccoli crowns if the regular broccoli looks like crap. Or I'll buy a quarter or half watermelon in summer-but those don't have the same price premiums.

+1 sweet potatoes and butternut squash every week. I know it is much more expensive, but those are DCs' favorite veggies so we eat one or the other every night. I probably save an hour of my life every week from peeling and cutting them. Worth it.

I can't stand baby carrots. They're slimy and the most nutritious part has been cut or scoured or whatever they do to get it off. Who doesn't have 15 seconda to cut a carrot???

I sometimes buy baby carrots. Otherwise, way beyond my pay scale.

I always roast butternut squash which eliminates this issue (easily cut the skin off when it's cooked). Have you tried it? I bought pre cut butternut squash one time and it had no flavor. I thought it was because it might have been dried out or something.

It's not even the $ that bothers me. I think it looks so dried out and unappetizing. It tastes so much better when I cut it up myself, fresh. Like those baby carrots are tasteless to me. Real carrots, peeled and sliced, are far better.

Never. It's been drilled into me by my mother that it is ridiculously overpriced.
A neighbor gifted me cut up fruit from Costco during my maternity leave. It was so nice having healthy snacks around that I didn't have to prepare, but the next time I went to Costco I couldn't bear to spend $13 on probably $7 worth of fruit.

It's so tempting but the price is just too high!
So for now I'll cut up my own brussel sprouts and cantaloupe.
