I never said I couldn't afford things! And I didn't buy it at a grocery
store but Coscto. So it was cheap. Nobody will eat apples that are not
prepared. So if I bought whole ones they would go to waste. Don't tell me
about the apple cutter or even using a knife. We have both. I also have
Fruit Fresh. Or I did. Probably don't any more. Nobody wants to bother
with that. Already cut, preserved and in individual bags? That's what they
want. So that's what they'll get.
