that's a winning strategy right there ;) I wouldn't sweat the lasting quality of the vegetables, it doesn't really lose much unless you over cook them anyway. Some have stronger health properties when cooked ie kale. I tend to hit the markets a few times a week as there is one on the way home but not easy for everyone i know.
I tend to go for the greek salads as they have more fats in them, feta as well. Cheese makes for a great calcium source. Milk is filled with sugar so tricky getting enough without it.
