Sorry to hear that, but maybe it is your location? I haven’t seen too many issues with produce where I am from, outside the price. Farmers markets are the best still and normally cost less than stores, so it is beneficial to try and go to them. It’s still the same crappy hours, though, haha.
I don’t know if we’re all in different places, but I agree with @ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com. In particular, every bag of onions and potatoes I’ve bought in the last couple years have had at least one bad veg so damaged that I couldn’t use it – like rotting on the inside kinds of bad. Lettuce seems smaller and more dirty, and everything generally seems older by the time it gets to the store. The only way I can get fruit with any flavor is by going to local farm standsand paying top dollar.
