grocery challenge tip

Your freezer is your friend. Not only will your freezer save you money but, it will also save you time and keep you from the unhealthy food at the  drive thru.

Are you cooking beans for chili or chicken for fajitas? Make a double or triple batch and freeze the extra. This has saved me so much money on busy nights. Instead of getting take out, I grab my frozen beans, defrost them in my microwave and make bean and cheese burritos. The kids pile them with salsa and sour cream and we're good to go.

Find a great sale on butter or milk? Buy extra and freeze it. One of the best times to stock up on butter is during the holidays when the prices drop. 

if you have space In your freezer,  grab some extra  gallons of milk. It will save you from making milk runs.

If you aren't sure if you can freeze it, test it. So far, I have had no problems freezing things.
