I could post here every day. Freeze everything.
Essential item: freezer bags
The day you shop, cut your fruit and veg up into portionsand freeze. Rub a little olive oil on your veg to prevent freezer burn (nasty taste you get from frozen pizzas)
To prepare for dinners chop:
Bag of Onions
Bulb of Garlic
3-4 tins chopped tomatoes
Bag of potatoes
punnet of button mushrooms
Carrots
Any frozen veg
Thyme
Rosemary
Cajun Spices
Olive Oil
Curry spices
Take a giant spoonful of the veg (according to your liking) and add one tiny spoonful of spice to a freezer bag, label to your recipe and freeze. You can take a bag out each time, fry your meat, add a bag and boil some veg and pasta.
With meat, rice and pasta sheets, you have the ingredients for Curries, Spaghetti Bolognaise, Stew, Lasagne, Cajun Risotto, and Soups.
Add Tuna & breadcrumbs for a tuna bake.
(Put bread in smoother maker)
Add Eggs, Bacon & Breadcrumbs for Breakfast, French toast, Omelettes and meatballs.
Keep yourshopping list simple, freeze everything on the day of purchase and Google recipes on your favourite foods.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52902034 This is one of the best savings tips ever. If you divide what you buy into baggies and put it away when you come from the store you will use a lot less groceries. I started dividing ground beef into half lbs so it goes further.Almost every thing that calls for a lb of meat can be cut back without much notice.Chicken especially can be cut back just slice or chop the chicken pieces a bit smaller.To the person eating it it will look like they have plenty of meat as before. I almost always use ground meat in spaghetti sauce because you use much less than using meat balls. You will use much less food if you have variety in the meal too.A small piece of bread and just a bit of fruit on top of cake along with the main dish ,etc will fill you up and you still have a bit of variety..USE SMALLER PLATES. Smaller plates tell your mind your plate is full and it is but a large plate makes you put more on your plate.A heaping small plate holds less than a not so heaping huge dinner plate.This is a great tip if you are trying to lose weight.
