Top 5 Reasons to Make Meals You Can Freeze

If you're interested in saving money and time (and who isn't!), you should look into making meals you can freeze. Here's are my top 5 reasons to make meals you can freeze:

1. Bulk cooking saves money. Making meals you can freeze will keep you from making emergency runs through the drive through. It also allows you to buy in bulk at the grocery - saving more per pound on your meats.

2. Cooking ahead saves you time. Cook once and eat many times. While you're making one dish with ground beef, why not make two or three and freeze some for later?

3. Making meals you can freeze will save your sanity! Knowing that you have meals made in advance eliminates the "What's for Dinner" stress.

4. Having freezer meals ready and waiting allows you to be a good neighbor and friend. Send a meal over to a sick neighbor. Return a favor by dropping off a meal to a good friend. With a freezer full of meals, this will be a breeze!

5. Save time by going to the grocery store just a few times a month. If you are making meals you can freeze, why not make enough for an entire month? Just think of how nice it would be to do just one big grocery shopping trip PER MONTH!
