Quick Tip...
When you buy in bulk, don't just shove that huge pack of chicken in the freezer right then. Frozen meats can't be safely frozen and thawed multiple times, and the last thing you want to do is thaw out ten pieces of chicken and be stuck eating them all for a week... unless you have a huge family.
Instead, think of everything as individual servings and freeze accordingly. You can use zip lock bags or clear wrap.
Ground beef is usually used for cooking meals = freeze in 1 lb batches
Want quick hamburgers? -> season and freeze individual patties
Chicken breasts and thighs = freeze individually
Wings 'n Things = freeze in packs of 4-8 pieces for a single serving
Pork Chops =freeze individually
Stewing Meat or General Meal Meat = freeze the entire package without opening
Steaks, etc. = freeze individually
Reminder: Make sure you're ziplock bags are freezer bags (come in small and large varieties). I've used name brand and generic and both work amazing!
