My grocery bill was $12 over budget until I remembered the frozen veggie trick

I was staring at a sad looking onion and bell pepper, but then I grabbed a bag of frozen mixed vegetables for $1.29. It stretched my stir fry for three meals instead of one. What's your go-to cheap filler ingredient?

Frozen veggies are the ultimate budget hack. People sleep on how much they save.

Three bags of frozen broccoli sit in my freezer right now from a "stock up" sale last month and I still haven't eaten them @david739, guess I'm the real vegetable waste around here. Guess I should actually cook them someday instead of just admiring my "savings.

Totally, the "budget hack" part is so real. I used to waste so much fresh produce. Now I buy frozen peppers and onions in big bags, they're perfect for throwing into eggs or stir fry and nothing goes bad. It cut my grocery waste in half.
