If you want to save money, especially on produce that is not in season, canned and frozen fruits and vegetables are great options! Foods are picked when they’re in season and then preserved in a way that makes sure they maintain their nutritional value. The health benefits are nearly the same, but the price can be much lower.
Watch out for extra salt or sugar, though, when buying canned and frozen foods. Try to find products that say they have no salt or sugar added.
