How to Save Money on Frozen Veggies and Take Advantage of Sales
Sep 4, 2008
Unless you grow your own, fresh vegetables are expensive especially as local growing seasons end and higher transportation costs make buying greens cost more green.
Nutrition experts say frozen vegetables are just as vitamin-packed as fresh...as long as you eat them daily. And just because food costs are rising, doesn’t mean you have to cut out your spinach and broccoli...simply learn to expand your taste buds and start taking advantage of coupons!
Where to Find the Best Frozen Vegetable Coupons
- Coupons.com You’ll save $1 when you buy any variety of 19 or 24 ounce Green Giant frozen bagged vegetables. Also save $1 when you buy Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers frozen vegetables.
- Birdseyefoods.com Here you’ll find coupons for various Birdseye frozen vegetables, nutrition facts and free recipes using frozen vegetables. You’ll also see a harvest calendar showing which vegetables are in season at different times of the year.
- Pillsbury.com This site also offers $1 off any variety of Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers. And you’ll find additional coupons on ready-to-bake rolls to go along with your veggies!
- Store brands Don’t be loyal to name brands when it comes to frozen vegetables! They are all the same. In fact your local grocery store may offer their own labels much cheaper than those national competitors. The supermarkets most likely buy local produce and can save on transportation costs. Also, take advantage of in-store sales. You’ll probably notice a pattern as to when generic packaged vegetables are marked down...it’s usually every six to eight weeks. Buy an extra freezer and begin stockpiling frozen vegetables and fruit for the winter months. If you can combine sales with coupons, you’ll come out way ahead.
- Farmers’ markets Cut out the middle man and save big at these local stands. You’ll most likely deal directly with the farmer and you can ask questions, enjoy the "home grown" atmosphere and come away with some fresh produce and great deals. And if you buy in quantity, don't be afraid to bargain.
- Be flexible! If you love corn but hate brussel sprouts, it may be time to start experimenting with veggies, that (a) you haven’t tried in a while, or (b) you’ve never tried at all. It will give you a chance to attempt new recipes, broaden your pallet and save money! If you find a coupon for a vegetable you don’t normally eat, buy it anyway. You might find you have been missing out on a fantastic dish all these years. And if you expose children to different types of vegetables when they are young, they may eventually become less picky later on!
