What’s In Our Freezer? Part 1: Letters A-G

Using the freezer for food preservation is a major strategy in keeping our grocery budget at $250 per month. I thought that taking a peek into our freezer might lend some insight into how we keep food costs down.

Almonds I purchased a 5 pound bag from BJs. I use these as a go-to snack and keep a bag in my purse. They are also great for toasting for salads and making pesto.

Artichoke hearts

Baba-ga hummus Homemade roasted eggplant and garlic hummus. Not great as-is. I will defrost and reblend.

Bailey's Irish Crème Mint This stuff is so good frozen!
I keep a small bottle of it in the freezer.

Berries I'm not a big berry eater, but these will be yummy on a dessert for guests.
