more about your must have freezer

I know this blog is about "my shopping life" but it is also about being a wise and frugal shopper. So today I am putting together a list of items that freeze well and tips about freezing. I must admit I am a Sam's Club shopper and I love to buy in bulk (when possible).

My most useful tools for freezing. Quart freezer baggies, black marker, reusable shopping bags and used clean cereal box.

*all kinds of meats ~but you must repackage to avoid freezer burns.
[tip] I like to place my meat in reusable shopping bags. All my hamburger and beef in one and pork and chicken in others.
*Almost all kinds of cheese. I like cheese sauce but it does NOT freeze well. I love Sam's runny cheesy for certain items! The only problem is it does not hold up after freezing.
*pasta sauce~ I like to buy Ragu in a 3gal jug from Sam's. Portion it in a quart baggies and freeze. [Tip] flatten your cereal box and place the baggies on it in the freezer. I like to lay mine flat as the thaw better and it is easier to stack later.

I also like to make a double batch of Chili, veggie soup, sausage gravy. They all freeze wonderful. [Tip] I like to use my cereal box. Place item in gal freezer baggie and place inside box. Once frozen, remove and place on shelf.

Now there are lots of thing that freeze wonderful but I am not able to put everything down. That would be one hell of reading!!

I wish for wonderful freezing!!
