Rant: My neighbor swore by frozen veg for cheap stir fry, but fresh from the farmers market beat it every time
She said the 99 cent frozen bags would stretch my $20 grocery run, but after comparing 3 meals last Tuesday, the $2.50 fresh broccoli and snap peas from the downtown stall browned way better and I didn't have that soggy mess, anyone else ditch frozen for seasonal produce even when money's tight?

Did you ever buy something just because a friend wouldn't shut up about it? My old roommate did that with those frozen pepper and onion mixes and she swore they were the same as chopping your own. I tried them for fajitas one night and the peppers were basically mush, all watery and sad in the pan. The weird part is she grew up with a garden and still thought that bag was fine, which blew my mind. I get it when you're broke and just need calories, frozen works, but something about fresh veg hitting a hot pan is a whole different meal. Now I only keep frozen peas and corn around, the rest I grab cheap from the stalls when it's in season.
