My aunt swore by frozen veg over fresh for soup, cheaper and honestly better?

She told me last month to swap fresh for a $1.29 bag of frozen mixed veg in my chicken soup and I laughed, but it actually held up better after 40 min simmer. Anyone else find frozen stuff wins for budget meals, or is fresh still worth the splurge sometimes?

You ever tried thawing frozen peas in hot soup? They stay green and pop, but fresh ones turn to mush after 10 minutes, so yeah frozen wins for stews and chilis every time.
