Frozen veggies beat fresh for my wallet last month

I spent $42 on fresh produce at the store and half of it went bad in a week. So last week I tried buying a big bag of frozen mixed vegetables for $3.50 instead. I ended up using them in stir fries and soups for like 10 meals total. Has anyone else had better luck stretching their budget with frozen stuff?

Right, frozen veggies are the way to go, no question about it. I started buying frozen broccoli and spinach a few months ago because fresh would always go slimy in my fridge before I got around to cooking. I swear I was tossing out like half my grocery haul every week, it was just a waste of money. Now I can grab a bag for a couple bucks and it lasts for weeks in the freezer, totally saves me from those sad, wilted veggie discoveries. Plus, they're already chopped and ready to go, which makes throwing together a quick dinner way easier too.

Oh man, that is the worst when you open the fridge to find a bag of slimy spinach staring back at you. @eva_ward88 you are absolutely right, it was such a relief when I finally switched to frozen and stopped throwing my money in the trash every week.
