What is Freezer Banking? As explained by Leisa from Sutton's Days

 By storing foods in the freezer, you can prevent them from going bad and wasting money. Here are some great tips for freezer banking:

1. Freeze meals in batches: When cooking dinner, make extra and freeze the leftovers in single-serving containers. This way, you'll have a quick and easy meal for busy weeknights. 2. Freeze fruit: When fruit is in season and on sale, stock up and freeze it for later use. You can use it in smoothies, oatmeal or even as a snack. 3. Freeze vegetables: Same as fruit, when vegetables are in season, buy them in bulk and freeze them for later. This way, you'll have a readily available source of veggies for your meals. 4. Freeze bread: If you see discounted bread or have too much at home, freeze it for later use. You can defrost it when needed and it will taste just as fresh. 5. Wrap foods properly: When freezing foods, make sure to wrap them properly to prevent freezer burn. Use freezer-friendly bags or containers and remove as much air as possible before freezing. 6. Label and date: Make sure to label and date all foods you put in the freezer to avoid confusion and waste. This way, you'll know exactly when it was frozen and how long it's been in the freezer. By freezer banking, you can save money and reduce food waste while still having delicious meals.
