TIL the $1 bags of frozen veggies at my Save-A-Lot were costing me more than the fresh ones

I stocked up on six of those cheap frozen stir fry bags last month thinking I was being smart with my grocery budget. Turns out half of each bag was ice and water weight, so after draining them I had maybe two thirds of what I paid for, and the texture was mushy enough that my kids wouldn't touch it. I added it up and figured I lost about $8 over those bags compared to just buying a head of broccoli and a couple peppers fresh at the same store. Has anyone found a frozen veg brand that isn't mostly ice, or should I just plan my week around whatever's marked down in the produce aisle?
