A recent survey from the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association [NFRA] found that almost two-thirds of adults (64%) say frozen foods help them combat rising grocery costs.
The results, tapping into shopping and meal preparation habits, found overwhelming support when it comes to the importance of having frozen foods on hand for convenience, affordability, and contribution to healthy meals. NFRA is a non-profit trade association representing all segments of the frozen and refrigerated foods industry.
Key findings include:

Parents surveyed said they find frozen food to be an especially valuable tool for navigating both meal planning and rising grocery costs. A significant portion (76%) of parents surveyed agree that frozen food helps them stretch their budgets, a higher percentage than adults without children at home.
