No steam fresh bags at the supermarket, I’ve had to regress to bulk flash frozen prechopped veggies. Feels like the stone age.

Heaven knows what I’d have to do if neither were available. Hardly bares thinking about.

I hate when you get used to something and then bang, it’s taken away. This is why I hoard. Not my fault. They made me do it.

  … TIL, I didn’t know these were a thing. Will take note for when I Cannot Cope but still need to eat my veggies

    Back when I was still able to eat them, the Chunky soups were a lifesaver on those really bad days. A fairly balanced meal in a can with meat and vegies for a few dollars.
    
    If you like any of them it’s worth buying up when they’re half price and keeping them on hand.

    Oh those things were an absolute lifesaver as a hyper frugal undergrad student. I don’t eat meat now and I don’t think I could handle those tins but I might stock up on some convenience items for the week. Whatever new place I go to had better have enough pantry space…

Years ago I bought one of these. If you just use water to steam you’ll still have to wash it but the task won’t be too bad.

Chopping veg is tough for a lot of people. If you can’t get the steam bags or frozen veg, you can also buy bags of prechopped fresh veg
