Saturday’s Saving Tips – Freezing Foods

  • When you find shredded cheese on sale, stock up!  You can sprinkle some cornstarch inside to prevent sticking and then freeze.
  • Find out how to freeze bread here.
  • When family-sized packs of ground beef go on sale, grab a couple extra packs. Divide them into one pound portions and put them in plastic freezer bags (I also wrap mine in foil first – just for good measure) and freeze them. They are good for up to 3 months.
  • If you always have meatloaf left over, freeze individual slices. Need a quick lunch for work or school? Grab a frozen slice and some bread. It’ll be thawed by lunchtime for a delicious meatloaf sandwich!
  • Check out this deliciously frugal recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup that can be frozen!  Make a big batch.  Eat some now, freeze some for later!  Do you make vegetable soup?  Did you know you can freeze that too?  You can double your recipe making two meals at once!
