I've taken to buying frozen fruit as you can keep it fresh longer. But I tend to get fruit & veggies fresh for the most part. I also get canned veggies.

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:

I am the same way, sometimes when something is on sale at a really good price I will buy and freeze.  I freeze a lot of the vegetables out of my garden when they are going crazy and I cannot eat them all.  (Good problem!)

We prefer buying fresh but not always easy to come by locally so most of the time we buy frozen and occasionally canned.  Tried growing some ourselves but the heat was too hard on them even though we watered every day or two.

One bad thing about fresh veggies is that you have to eat very quick and need go shop frequently, frozen you can put a long time and slow down the shopping habit.

I like my fruits and vegetables fresh. I buy frozen vegetables because they keep better longer in the freezer.

I do the majority frozen,  it really is hard to get good fresh here, they are either half-rotten or nowhere near ripe I got fed up
