I always buy fresh fruit and veggies at a local farmer's market but sometimes also buy veggies frozen for going into stews and the like. It's 11 miles round trip to the farmer's market but they have such fresh and good stuff at such good prices, it is very worth the trip.

I try to buy fresh things, but when I am in a hurry, or in the winter, I usually get frozen.

Primarily fresh fruit but if I am going to make sundaes or a dessert with strawberries I buy organic frozen ones.  Veggies I rarely buy either way because of disability I really can't cook so I try to get them in salad form.

I always buy them fresh.  I do not care for frozen especially fruits.

For the most part we always buy fresh, we are close to a flea market with a huge produce section. We buy as much as we can there and the rest at the store. But usually fresh. Never canned anymore.

Always fresh never frozen, I think its cause I hardly really look at them in the frozen section.

  Frozen because they have already selected the best of the crops.

If I can find them in season I prefer to buy fresh.  If they are out of season I will buy frozen or canned, but out of the two I prefer frozen better than canned.

Fruits - fresh
Vegies - mostly frozen except for those that are going in a salad.

I don't usually buy frozen fruit.  We aren't big fruit eaters, anyway.  I usually buy veggies frozen.  Sometimes I'll get fresh, especially if there is a certain recipe I want to try.  I also get canned veggies because that's what my dad likes.

I grow my favorite veggies during the summer.

Occasionally, I may buy mixed veggies frozen.  However very seldom.

I do buy fresh fruit, prefer Farmer's Market items.

Occasionally canned....like kidney beans for chili. Almost time to think about making that again, as fall is around the corner.
