4. Frozen vegetables are cheaper and just as good as fresh. When frozen veggies go on sale, be sure to stock up!
5. Don’t throw away vegetables that are just beginning to get too soft or that will soon spoil if they aren’t eaten. Use them in a sauce, smoothie, or even chopped up, cooked and then frozen to use for freezer cooking.
6. Join a vegetable co-op and get a box of different fresh vegetables every month for a low price.
7. Buy a prepackaged bag in the grocery store instead of loose vegetables. My grocery store sells a bag of mixed bell peppers that costs about half of what it costs to buy them loose and pay by weight.
8. Use store rewards and Catalina coupons to buy fresh and frozen vegetables. This can save a substantial amount of cash during grocery shopping.
9. Use your vegetables twice. Yes, you read that right! If you make juice using a juicer, don’t throw away the pulp that gets left behind. Use it to make muffins, bread or soup. It’s like getting double for the money.
