Can they be kept in the fridge for a day of two before they are used, I just placed a large order for chicken and fish and if it arrives I will need to make space in my freezer. The only way I can do this is to use or unfreeze the packages of veggies I have in there

Yes, of course.

@I am still oxox I certainly think that would be fine. The packages will sweat, so put a dish under them. Also, you could just nuke them right away, and they would still be good for a number of days.

Do you have any picnic coolers that you could throw the veggies in with ice?
Otherwise I think the veggies would be fine in the refrigerator for a few days. You might want to drain the water from the vegetables from time to time so that they aren't soaking in water for days.

They will be fine :-)

It may depend upon what kind of veggies you have, but I would use a cooler if you have one with some ice. I had a similar issue and made a big pot of vegetable soup, froze it in quart-sized freezer bags, and we are good to go while we are holed-up inside.

  @I am still oxox ,  when I have to do this to "make room" I cook the frozen things right away since they were meant to go from frozen straight to cooked. And I usually eat some of it that day.

After they cool I either refrigerate

 Or... I can often fit much of a bigger item back into the freezer if it's broken into smaller bags after its cooked.

If I do that I just warm the smaller portions as I need them. I cook, then freeze things in single portions all the time.

I just follow the package instructions.

Put frozen veggies in a big bowl and dump a tray or 2 of ice cubes over them.

frozen vegetables are meant to go from freezer to be cooked immediately.   They will thaw in the refrigerator and will have a different texture if cooked thawed.   Either put them in a cooler or cook them then refrigerate or refreeze.
