AFAIK, those are frozen bags, and they are mostly stems (and I like
broccoli stems as long as the tough ones are peeled.) The bags at
Sam's are fresh florets, and I generally eat at least half of them raw
-- I slice them up pretty thinly and mix with a little lettuce and
onion for a hearty salad.

I agree that frozen fruits and vegetables are often a better deal than
fresh; even canned tomatoes and peaches are often better than fresh.
