Hey Roadssss
We also have pre-cut onions, and instant sauces over here, I just don't know anyone who actually uses it on the regular. Lol, not that I know everyone in Cape Town, but even if you glance at fellow shopper's groceries, those tv dinner things aren't a trend over here.
These pre-prepped stuff are actually mostly bought by folks with money to spend on diced onion or instant sauce or whatever... they're definitly more expensive than unprepped onions.
I can see why quick meals would be the "go to" yes, because while its the norm for both parents to be working, we don't have mutliple jobs.
Lol, I can't even find a single job atm...
Thanks for your insights
