      Canned veggies are cheap and great for mixing into a pot of other stuff. For a really cheap meal, toss a can of veggies into a pot of ramen. Ma fairly filling meal that hits multiple food groups yet it only costs about a dollar. I imagine most people buying canned carrots are doing so for cooking with

          Yeah, I grab a cup of frozen mixed vegetables to go with the ramen, balances out the meal.

          I think its about the same? I haven’t looked too hard and typically purchase based on what I’m intending to do with the veggies, but I do like to keep a few cans of veggies in the cupboards for a rainy day (or more accurately for when the whole family is sick and none of us have the energy to go to the store, which happens at least once every winter thanks to having young kids)

            If it actually is about the same I 100% recommend frozen over canned. Same applications (stews etc) because they’re also mushy when thawed, but they’re fresher, so they aren’t as gray and sad, aren’t as salty, have more of a taste and more vitamins survive. Only cans I buy are legumes and tomatoes.

              Yeah I primarily buy frozen for that purpose and observe better texture from it, but I’ve got more cupboard space than fridge space, so keeping some cans for when I’m out of everything else has been good
