I am trying to buy fresh, but there are some times when fresh is kinda pricey and I have to buy frozen.

 I always buy fresh fruit.  I will also buy fresh veggies as often as possible usually in the season.  Besides price I buy frozen because I won't finish fresh veggies before they go bad  :rose: :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

We buy fresh as much as possible.  We do end up having to buy frozen blueberries in the winter, but right now I can go pick them from pots on my patio!  I need to grow enough so that I can freeze my own.  Our grocery store has a pretty good variety of fresh veggies all year long, so I take advantage of that.  The farmers' markets during the summer are awesome, and I do try to freeze some of their veggies to carry me through the winter.

I always try to by fresh but sometimes I think that's worse with all the e.coli outbreaks and the contaminated water.  I don't really think there is a way to eat healthy without loosing your mind in terror over what disease you are putting in your body while trying to keep it healthy.

I do, I buy both, or I have a family member who plants a garden, so I can get some fresh veggies from them.

I prefer fresh, but frozen is a nice substitute and it keeps longer.

Just remember to wash your fresh fruits and veggies first. :sweat: Lots of bacteria harboring in the fields lately.

Fresh almost exclusively. Frozen stuff tends to taste a little icky to me. Some veggies handle it better than others though I guess.
