Frozen Foods Saving Time & Money

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – March is here, and that means it’s time to celebrate National Frozen Food Month. 

Whether you’re feeding a busy family on the go or looking for ways to save time in the kitchen, frozen foods are proving to be a game-changer for households across America. 

New research from the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association highlights just how much people rely on their freezers to simplify meal prep and cut down on costs. 

The study finds that 83% of adults turn to frozen foods for easier meal planning, while nearly two-thirds say they help fight rising grocery prices. 

And with packed schedules, it’s no surprise that 69% of consumers choose frozen foods for convenience, while 60% appreciate the time-saving benefits.

But if you think frozen food means sacrificing nutrition, think again! Many frozen fruits and vegetables are flash frozen at peak ripeness, locking in nutrients even better than some fresh produce that travels long distances to reach store shelves. 

And with options ranging from microwaveable shrimp etouffee to oven-ready chicken cordon bleu, modern frozen meals are a far cry from the old-school TV dinners of the past.

So, as we celebrate National Frozen Food Month, why not take a fresh look at your freezer aisle? Whether it’s saving time, cutting costs, or simply making mealtime easier, frozen foods are helping busy families across the country put delicious, nutritious meals on the table… faster than ever.
