Buying frozen with coupons is smart! And a perfect way to keep variety on hand. Another idea: Only buy produce that is on sale that week. Experiment with new fruits and veggies. Buy enough for 5 or 6 meals and the frozen can be used when necessary. And don’t worry if the veggie doesn’t “match” the meal!

I've been trying to put veggies and fruits into my main course (i.e. carrots in meatloaf, applesauce in waffles, etc), but I find that fresh produce is one of my biggest expenses for meals (and rarely can I get a coupon for fresh produce). I try to buy frozen veggies (w/ coupons). Is there a good way to incorporate fresh/frozen fruits and veggies in a cost effective manner?
