Happy you like ketchup. Try to buy in season veggies and fruits plus carrots and some veggies are low priced to begin with. I make this creamy veggie soup with carrots, broccoli, cauliflower (6 cups of veggies), chicken or vegetable broth and onions thickened with milk and flour - its very delicious. You can also buy those green storage bags that extend the life of fruits and veggies ...they actually work. Bananas that are past their eating point can be used for muffins or banana bread or frozen to use later in smoothies.
