From December to March, I pretty much live off frozen vegetables. Greens like kale and collard do well in hearty soups and stews Canned veggies are full of sodium but frozen veggies are not and freezing tends to preserve more of the nutrients than canning.

I can get a package of orange, yellow & red peppers (2 of each) for $6, or I can pay the same amount for a 3 pack (1 of each) at the grocery store. The discrepency in price is unbelievable, and since discovering the cheaper peppers I've put more time into comparing prices and finding where the better deals are. Another thing I've noticed is that the produce at Sam's is usually a bit fresher than at the other stores. But I don't know if that's just coincidence or if there's a reason for it. It does make me feel a little better about getting the bigger packages, knowing that it may last long enough to use it all up.

You just have to be careful to use everything you buy before it goes bad! The quantities are so large sometimes it is tough to get through it all. My wife and I buy olive oil, huge bags of spinach, bell peppers, buffalo mozzarella, frozen salmon, pre-cut broccoli, canned tuna and tomatoes from Costco and reap the savings and health benefits.
