Do you wash/cut/divide your produce all at once so it's ready for the week, or just as you need it?
I prepped everything the other day after grocery shopping, divided it out into portions for the girls and then larger containers for whatever else. Makes my life easier, that's for sure!

I used to - took the grapes off the stems and peeled them, washed and chopped veggies, and it made life so much easier.

I try to, but often times... it doesn't happen. I usually cut the entire container of something when I need it for the first time (so I will wash and chop a 6-pack of bell peppers the night I need 2 of them for fajitas or I'll cut all the fruit when I want some for breakfast the next day).

I have a few times in the past and it is really nice but I'm often too lazy to do it all the time.

No, I've found that washing fruit, at least, makes them go bad faster. So I store them dirty and wash as we go.

The most I do is take off all the plastic wrap. I don't like to store the produce in bags or tight cling wrap.
I cut enough vegetables for 2 days.

I have a hard time with this because many fruits go bad if you precut- apples, bananas, strawberries, blueberries? (Not sure if they get mushy)

No. I don't have patience for things to dry before putting it in the fridge. My prep calls for rinsing. Also, I don't like food to turn brown or get soggy.

@travellingbee: I don't cut apples or bananas that's for sure! Celery, cucumbers, strawberries, melon. None of it goes bad/gets mushy because we eat it fast enough.
