While it's a good idea to stock your freezer with veggies and fruit, it's also good to eat a variety of fresh produce too. one trick I have found to help me eat it before it goes bad: wash and slice your produce pretty quickly after you bring it home. Store in an airtight bag or container. It's so nice to be able to pull out a bag of already chopped veggies for a quick snack. It only take about an hour to do all the chopping (depending on how much you buy) but then it's done and you are way more likely to eat it because it's all ready, and you still get it for the price of fresh food.
A lot of time we pay extra for our food to have it already packaged in snack sized containers "ready to eat" when it only takes a little bit of effort to get it to the "ready to eat" stage ourselves. Don't throw away money and quality for convenience.
(also, most of your snacks like crackers or chips have a serving that equals 100 calories or less, the trick is just stopping at the serving size. Try buying a large box of crackers and dividing it into 'serving sized portions' in a sandwich bag to grab easily instead of paying extra for the pre-packaged "100 calorie" packs.)
