Anytime I find canned goods on sale, & they have a long exp. date, I buy as many as I can. I am thinking of trying to dehydrate some frozen veggies & see how those work. I also think some very lean times may be ahead. We will not be eating gourmet, but we will eat.
I don't think you can dehydrate produce that is already frozen..it has already lost most of its nutritional value already. Best to by fresh on sale and then dehydrate..but even then, most of what we get at the store as "fresh" is already a week old and has lost most of its nutritional values as well!
