Hi, Bizi,

We save money by eating at home and limiting meat consumption.

Frozen fruits and veggies are better than fresh because they are flash frozen close to the site they are picked -- they hold their nutrients. They have a different texture.

I'm fussy about apples, strawberries, and blueberries. I only buy them as a treat when I can buy organic.

In general the following items are available and maybe on sale this time of year where you are:

~Beets-- hubby peels them and puts them in the crock pot with some water. They are good roasted too.

~Blueberries
