To save money and cut food costs in the long run, which is the best purchase? Canned beans or dried beans?
Dried beans Beans in any form are usually a great bargain and good for your health. They are high in fiber, complex carbohydrates, and protein, and low in fat and cholesterol-free. A pound of dried beans, which often costs about the same as a pound of canned beans, will typically yield three to four pounds of beans once soaked and cooked. Plus, with dried you can control the amount of sodium and other ingredients added to most canned beans

Packaged veggies are more convenient for time-challenged folks, but are they better and cheaper than buying whole veggies?
Buy whole veggies and fruits, not cut up/prepared produce. Packaged produce like pre-shredded lettuce, peeled carrot strips, and those little plastic containers of watermelon slices come at a very high price compared to the cost of the same produce in its more natural state. When you do the math, you’re often “paying” someone the equivalent of more than $100 per hour for the convenience of having your lettuce shredded or your carrots peeled. Heck, for that much I will personally come to your house and chop your cabbage or hack up your honeydew

A. A Whole Number With so many species of tulip, there is no fixed number of leaves. Some species have up to twelve leaves. But it is safe to say that tulips cannot grow half leaves. Kind of like you can't dig half a hole. So it will always be a whole number of leaves.

Bottled water has become a very popular in recent years. Only one of these bottled water facts is true when compared to tap water - bottled water is: A. More healthy than tap water B. Production is easier on the environment than tap water C. Less contaminants than tap water D. More expensive than tap water
Bottled water is a big con. While figures vary, let's say a bottle of tap water costs .50. A bottle of bottled water generally costs $1. There is also no evidence that bottled water is healthier than tap water. In fact, evidence has suggested some bottled water may be contaminated by the plastic bottles they are housed in.
