Not wasting food tips

[judyoz 240]

I often buy cheese and yogurt on sale and freeze them. I first cut the cheese in 1-2 ounce chunks so it is easy to grap the right amount.

I am currently making my own Jerky, just shy of 5 lbs worth. It has to marinate overnight so I will let you know tomorrow how this receipe is Of course that stays good a long time. I paid $22.00 for the meat when it was one sale. I will put into bags for a quick snack.< /p>

I make my own popsicles when I can. From SF koolaid.

I buy chinese food in the quart size and split it to freeze for a great lunch or dinner. I love the Happy family, it has crab, shrimp, pork, beef and chicken with veggies.

I buy farm fresh eggs, which are more expensive but they are larger and stay good over a month. I also make hard boiled eggs for a quick snack or lunch.

I love ground burger with just salt and pepper on it. So I brown 5-6 lbs at a time and put into tupperware bowls for a quick meal. I also portion off 1 lb for my Hubby's food. It is so nice to have it all browned and you can quick make a casserole, tacos, chili or sp.

I always have cooked frozed shrimp in the freezer. So easy and I love shrimp anytime of the day. And a Great source of Protein.< /p>

Also buy almonds when they are on sale. I have froze them in the past as well. Measure out small bagies with an ounce or two.

You can Freeze almost everything and sure does save on groceries.

I have a 31 one thermal bag that I always have in the car. Keeps things cold or warm, love that thing.

He is all my marinating beef for the jerky!

What are you tips?

i have a large family so i have always bought in bulk and separated and froze and made my own stuff like you do - it is just a habit now and it is easier to me. i do not like the way that most frozen pre-packaged foods taste - with all the preservatives in them. I have a farm so i grow most of my own food and raise my own meat as well - fresh is best! LOL!
