Eats on the Cheap

Save yourself lots of chopping–and a few dollars–by using frozen veggies instead of fresh. Buying fresh, in-season vegetables also saves money, but not if you tend to let leftovers go bad. Recent research has shown that flash-frozen vegetables retain more nutrients than their fresh counterparts that travel for several days before arriving in grocery store displays. Even better–you won't lose an ounce of flavor.
