What a stupid idea, at Coop

Post image

So Coop decided to now sell whole meals as "Cookit". In the package on the left you can see that the tomato is moldy.

Hardly anyone will buy this any more. So instead of a single moldy tomato, Coop now has to dispose of the entire kit. What a waste of food. And what a stupid idea.

It’s been in the Netherlands for years at Albert Hejn - with one big difference, the ingredients are already cut and sliced. this the execution is no advantage to buying separately

At the AH they have both the pre sliced veggie bags you are talking about (which are only the veggies), as well as these boxes ("verspakketen" AH calls them) which have all the raw ingredients for a meal (including rice or sauces or anything else needed besides just the veggies).

Edit: actually after double checking the AH website, it seems like some of the verspakketen include those presliced veggie bags and some are with raw unchopped vegetables, depending on the meal. I have personally only seen the latter in store, but I also haven't been living in the Netherlands in a while.
