10. Pre-cut meats
Paying for convenience? How many times have you done that? Probably a lot. Sliced meat can be a good option, especially if you are in a hurry and you want to cook a large amount of food for your friends who are coming for a visit. Just pick up a large piece of meat, and when you get home, you can slice it as you wish!
Save your money for something else.
11. Tomato sauce
You are actually paying a higher price for this item. Why? Because it’s pre-made and all you have to do is add it to your dish. But you can actually make your own tomato sauce at home by simply crushing some tomatoes, adding some spices, and putting them in a glass container. Easy, right? I prefer adding some basil too. It adds a little bit more flavor to the spaghetti.
