Unpopular opinion: my $1.29 bag of frozen mixed veggies beats fresh for stir fry every time
I used to spend about $14 a week on fresh broccoli, peppers, and snap peas for stir fry night. Then back in January my grocery store in Lansing was wiped out after a snowstorm and the only thing left was a $1.29 bag of frozen mixed veggies. I grabbed it, tossed it straight into a hot pan with soy sauce and garlic, and honestly it came out better than my fresh version. The veg holds its shape, nothing gets soggy, and I'm saving around $12 a week now. Has anyone else made the switch to frozen for certain meals, or am I just late to this?
