ReplyDeletecabbage is actually super easy to shred yourself. just use the food processor with the slicer blade (not shredder, or will be water!). one head of cabbage (costs abt $1) will get you 2 bags worth (~$6!)
i remove and throw out the first few leaves cause those are yucky and tend to have the bugs. let me know if you try it
I am all for saving $ ;-) but the Publix brand cabbage has a reliable hechsher and it was $1.29/bag so for a few cents it was not worth the effort....Thanks so much for the tip and please keep em coming!!!
