		<description>You forgot my favorite suggestion - replace the potatoes, pasta, rice, bread, or other nutritionally bereft foods on your plate with an extra serving of veggies.  Last night we had pork chops with a giant mixed green salad and braised brussels sprouts.  Tonight we're having lamb, a giant salad, and roasted red peppers.

Jerry - is it possible for you to go to the store more often and buy less each time?  That's the best way to get fresh veggies daily.  If you can't do that, buy a mixture of greens and "solid" veggies.  Greens (and delicate solids like zucchini, broccoli, cucumbers) go bad faster, so eat them for the first couple of nights, then eat the solids (carrots, winter squash, parsnips, cauliflower) later in the week.  You may have to experiment a bit to learn the relative shelf lives of your food, but it does come in time.  And I hope Mark and Aaron will add some advice about how to store them properly - for example, you can keep greens longer if you rinse them and put them in a plastic bag with a paper towel.</description>

		<description>Hi showbuzz, yes I buy frozen vegetables also.  They are excellent and last a long time.  I guess I just feel frustrated and overwhelmed at times because I'm on a limited budget right now, and don't feel like I can buy all the right foods, especially those that don't have a long shelf life.  I'm looking forward to some tips from Mark.  And thanks for your suggestion as well, I fully agree with you.</description>

		<description>Jerry: i have/had the same problem. My solution - frozen vegetables. I'm sure I'm losing out on some nutrition, but it certainly beats not eating any / having to shop every day.</description>

		<description>Great read.  I have a hard time with buying fruits &#38; vegetables for the reason that many of them go bad so quickly.  And so I feel like it's not wise to stock up on them when they rot so fast.  I feel like I have to eat them all to quickly, therefore I end up going to the store more than I truly can afford to.  A suggestion for Mark would be perhaps a future article with some tips on just this type of situation.  I think it would help because I know I'm not the only one who could use more vegetables in their diet, but doesn't quite know how to go about stocking up and making them last.</description>
