Everybody want to know how to save money and make more money. I don't have any money tree to have more money. Also, if you know me I am not great in making money either. Then what is Bindu blogs going to say about money is your question.
Well, I just came to know about some ideas to use the freezer to save the food items longer. Will it save money? Giving these tips a try won't hurt. that is all I will say.
I wasn't sure to keep my strawberries in the freezer before. Two summers before, we went for ''pick your own'' and had a lot of strawberries. We ate them fresh. Kept in the fridge...Then I searched in the internet to find a way to keep them longer. I got the tip to freeze them. I placed the washed and wiped strawberries in a cookie sheet and kept in the freezer to get frozen. Then I kept the frozen berries in a zip lock bag and kept there. They were good to make smoothies. So I decided to try the bananas in the summer. They were good to make creamy smoothies.I kept the peeled bananas though. The frozen and thawed bananas were good to make the banana bread also.
Another item I tried is bread. Sometimes I buy the bread from Costco. It is a good way to save money if you use a lot of bread.But it is a big quantity for my small family. So I freeze them. By trial and error, I learned to freeze enough slices to make sandwich for a day separately. I use two covers to keep them. All the resealable plastic bags are good to keep food in the freezer.you know the kind you get with processed frozen foods.
I read in a womens' magazine that we can actually freeze the butter for about 6 months in the freezer. I used to get mold on my big block of cheese. Once it get the mold, I cannot use it. So I cut half of the cheese block and pack it with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge. When the half of the block in the fridge is getting finished, I have the other half getting thawed and ready to use.
The left over wine can frozen in ice cube trays and kept to be used in cooking. The fresh herbs can be put in the ice trays and our water on them and freeze. These ice cubes can be kept in air tight containers or zip lock bags in the freezer to use in cooking.I still have to try this method.
Keeping the ginger in the freezer will make it easier to grate. That way ginger can last longer too.
Hope you like the Money Saving Freezer ideas!!.
