Still working on my
Frugal Failing when it comes to food.By 10p Tuesday 11/7 I will...
Clean out and organize my fridge, freezer, and pantry.
I know I've got leftovers in that fridge somewhere, my frugie sense is tingling all over! I've got a mostly full pantry, and completely full freezer, but nothing has a designated home.
Well, obviously the freezer stuff has to stay in the freezer, duh!
What I mean to say is freezer leftovers are mixed around with bags of veggies, potatoes, biscuits, and at least 7 species of meat. Hard to maneuver in there. The pantry and fridge are no better, so I've got a week to work on it.

I quite often for me cook ahead, then just reheat. It isn't left overs, but planned make aheads. Then it is just serve it up and eat it. Way different than cooking. I love casseroles for that reason. Make up, then just heat and eat when you want it.
Hope this is sorta helpful.
Oh and do you have a slowcooker? They are the BEST!

what i'm finding most helpful are a)cheap plastic plates combined with b)glad press'n'seal. make a big meal, make up a plate & seal it up. pop it in the freezer and POOF instant TV dinner. and the plastic plates stack up nicely in the freezer.
the slow cooker is kinda funny: i have one, but won't use it when someone isn't home b/c the cats are liable to knock it over to get a taste!
