I'm sure I have....but I guess it depends on how long they've been hanging about and what state they are in.
If they've not been defrosted for more than a day and look OK I think I'd chance it....after all, you'll be cooking them when you get them out again, so any bugs should be annihilated then.
But I'm notoriously un-picky about food sell by dates, best before dates etc
Don't think you are supposed to re-freeze anything Mally unless it has been cooked, ie frozen peas incorporated into a cottage pie etc. have you had a problem with you freezer?

thanks for answers ,yes Margo had to try and cram everything into one freezer(chest one ok ,upright needed repair ) but didn't have room for the packets of veg .
If you wrap them in newspaper and leave them in your coolest place, they might not defrost......or is this suggestion too late?
Frozen vegetables must thaw out partially on the trip home from the store, so refreezing would seem to be OK.

ladyalex i have wrapped them and put in a cool bag but still gone soft .
If you google it Mally there seems to be divided opinions especially about the texture etc. suppose you could give it a try, or possibly make a big vat of veggie soup x

Canary thanks x
Old Geezer thanks for link ,it looks like the answers no x
The link seems to say don't refreeze them as you might lose some nutrients and they might go a bit tough.
I'd do it....especially if I had a lot of them.
But, as I said I'm a bit cavalier about sell by dates etc............if it doesn't look or smell bad, I'll use it.
They won't do you any harm at all but the texture won't be great.
make soup and freeze that?
