I have been saving money when I buy items that have not been pre-packaged. Like I buy milk in cups to store in my milk bag or container, even sugar I buy the granulated ones in cup and store them in my preferred container and I save money this way than buying the ones that are already packaged in containers which comes at a higher cost. The truth is that stores often charge more for the convenience of packaging. .

Even for your veggies it is good to go for fresh or frozen veggies than buying the pre-cut veggies or pre-shredded cheese as you would paying more as that task of the shredding will make the price a lot higher and you pay more but you can do otherwise to save money.

I have often noticed this with fruit in the supermarket. E.g. a bag of 6 apples that costs much more than the price of 6 individual apples that you pick up and put in a bag yourself.

That's right the price of the bag will be added to your fruits you buy. So you can save money by having your own container to put your apples

This is a good idea. Just go to the factory with your container and let them load it on ther for you. You cut down the cost of packaging for yourself

Most of the cost of products are from the packaging that is being used on the product.

Exactly, the cost of the packaging are also added to the product. So it's better one go for the bare ones to save money

This is right, extra charges are being added due to the cost of packaging an item with the same content in it, but sometimes I do not find where to buy the Pre packaged items especially when I am far away from home.

Packaging adds to the overall cost of the product that you buy.
