    That is what fresh food not overloaded with preservatives will do. You should really make fresh produce shopping more of a daily activity as you need it. But not everyone has that kind of time understandably bi-weekly also doable for truly fresh produce along with you plan out your meals for the week

      Are you fucking joking? You expect a single parent working two jobs to go shopping daily as well?

        Calm down, that was a general statement that is true. If your circumstances don’t allow it, that sucks.

          I gave an extreme example, but very few people’s circumstances at this point allow them to go shopping every day. Even people working a single job are far too exhausted by it at the end of the day to be expected to go shopping after work. If Aldi can’t sell vegetables that last more than a couple of days, people are less likely to shop there and more likely to shop at somewhere like Walmart. If for no other reason than sometimes you don’t get to cook as quickly as you want to and you end up losing more money on the cheaper vegetables than you would have if you just bought the longer-lasting ones.

          Even back before supermarkets where you had to go to multiple individual shops to buy food, no one went to the greengrocer on a daily basis. That is not how vegetables are supposed to work.
