You're missing out on important nutritional fibre and stuff.

You know, if you don't eat lentils you wont shit. And if you don't shit, you'll die.

I buy fresh when my money comes through (every fortnight) but the vegetables and the money always run out before I'm paid again. So I have the frozen veg as backup. A mixed bag of peas, carrots and cut beans - generic accompaniment veg. I also keep a bag of casserole veg for last minute soup making, and because cutting swede makes me homicidal. And then just peas and sweetcorn which I never buy fresh to be honest.

Because I'm only cooking for one I do believe it works out cheaper and healthier.

"Fresh" veggies from supermarkets are very rarely really fresh. Most often they have been in storage at 1-4 degrees C for a week or two, even more sometimes, and often with special gases (in low concentrations) to delay aging.
Frozen veggies are usually frozen within a day or less of harvest and, surprisingly, often arrive at the dinner table with more nutritional content than "fresh".
However, freshies from your own garden or a local farmers' market ... that's the way to go , if you can manage it.

Yep, farmers markets are good. That's the way I prefer to get my veges, and they're usually surprisingly reasonable in price.
