Tips
• Explore freezing foods that you had not thought of freezing before. For example, fresh bread freezes and thaws quite well. Not sure if something will freeze nicely? Do a quick search online!
• If you enjoy cooking, create a bigger portion of a tasty creation ahead of time and freeze the leftovers for fast and easy meals.
• Freeze foods in portions fit for you and your household to make it easier to thaw or reheat as needed.
• Find a great deal in the store for something perishable? Buy it up and put what you cannot eat right away in the freezer for later!
• Keep older foods in the front of the freezer and newer foods near the back to help ensure you know what your options are.
