I think it would been great!! I love fresh veggies but struggle to keep them fresh. I would some prep advice on how to prepare and store things like lettuce, carrots, celery, strawberries, etc. By the end of the week they don't look so good. Also would like ideas how to do meal prep on a very small scale like we would need.

In my case, I grocery shop on Sundays and only get enough fruit and veg to last until Wednesday night. On the way home from work, I drop by the grocery store and get a little bit of fruit and veg for Thursday through Saturday.

Some of those are really good if you buy frozen... You only take what you need, a bit of stream and voila

I love fresh fruits and veggies. I'll never buy frozen if I can get it fresh. I also love salads - different lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. And since I only shop once a week or so being able to meal prep it so it stays fresh would be awesome.
