No matter how they look, never buy potatoes with free shipping.
It’s not that the potatoes themselves are bad. It’s the journey.
No root vegetable deserves to be flung across the country in a box with zero cushioning and a complimentary sachet of silica gel. By the time they arrive, they’re either sprouting rebelliously or writing emotional memoirs about cargo hold trauma.
Today’s lesson? When a potato is cheap and the shipping is free, you’ll still pay the price—usually in guilt, weird smells, and mystery bruises.
Best to pick your produce the old-fashioned way: in person, with mild suspicion and a firm poke.
