Unpopular opinion: I think the 'never buy pre-chopped veggies' rule for saving money is a trap for some people. My partner and I spent 45 minutes (and a lot of frustration) just dicing onions and peppers for chili last night.

Exactly, what's the point of saving money if you're wasting time and sanity? That 45 minutes could have been quality time or just relaxing after work. Sometimes paying for convenience is the REAL frugal choice.

Plus you're not even saving the full amount when you factor in gas and wear on your car. The cheaper gas station might cost you more in the long run.
