My Take On Freezer Meals !

So a lot of people out there say doing "freezer meals" can save you alot of money.
here is my take on that:


first of all do not confuse freezer meals with buying frozen food.
i can say that the only boxed freezer foods i ever purchase are hot pockets,Digiornio pizzas, & tostinos pizzas. other then that the rest of the items in my freezer are items i have cooked & am storing.
I freeze bread,juice,spaghetti sauce,casseroles,& meats of course.
i definitely recommend that you invest in a chest freezer if you are considering doing this.
i bought mine at home depot  & could not be happier with it. I do feel like i should have checked on craiglist first as you can find some amazing deals on there.
Now, I do feel that you should eat frozen meals everyday. for example: since Monday is my busiest day i plan a freezer meal for that day cook Tuesday & Wednesday & a freezer meal on Friday & Saturday.
that way you do not get bored of it.
i can say that the number one thing that i save money cooking & freezing are breakfast burritos.
i make about 30 of them to last me about a month or so for me & my hubby.

hope this sparks some ideas!

You are more then welcome to leave a comment with what you are doing to get your family on a financial frugal path. I love to read them & get new ideas!!!

My frugolosity (cute word i made up LOL) for yesterday:

So yesterday we made dinner at home. & i packed lunch for today's lunches.
I made some delicious enchiladas that where yummy. i also made a few box cakes & froze them.
My son loves .. I mean REALLY LOVES CAKE so sometimes i make an impulse cake purchase so he can have a slice. Not a good idea considering it can cost 8-10 dollars, By freezing them i am making my life much easier & i love how convenient it is. I did a few loads of laundry with my DIY Laundry detergent & i have to say i am so content with the way it cleans my clothes. I am Going to make a few more batches this weekend.

I am painting the basement this week so i am so exited about that.

Halloween is tomorrow & i hope everyone stay's safe ! there are some real sickos out there.


Stay safe everyone !
