If you have a freezer, Use it!

  One of the things we have problems with is our food going bad and those hard earned dollars going into the trash with the food that went to waste. There is a way to prevent that from happening,  it is called a freezer.
  I wish I had used mine more when we started out. So you plan your weekly meal, (applause,  applause👏) you have saved time and money. What if I told you that you can save even more? Would I have your attention?.
  Well you can. There are some items that do great in the freezer. 
  Say you bought a turkey because it is a cheap meat so you are saving money and you have more then enough to last you the week as your meat. After you have de-boned it, portion it out for your week then portion out a weeks worth or however much is left and put it into a freezer bag and put it in the freezer for another week.
This will work with just about any meat that can not be used up in time. Just be sure to put it in the freezer before it is expired.
Also did you know you can freeze herbs? That's right, those fresh herbs you buy to make your meal taste fabulous but come in bundles to big for you to use up and end up throwing half of them out can go into a freezer baggie and into the freezer. You won't have them crisp like before but you sure can make a delicious sauce or stew by golly! 
  Did you know you can freeze milk?  Yep that's right, if you found a bargain on milk go ahead and buy double!  It will keep. Just make sure to drink a little before placing it into the freezer for when it freezes it will expand.
  Beans freeze beautifully. Make a lage pot of beans in a crock pot and freeze to have handy when you are in a pinch for a quick meal!
