While I don’t profess to be the best as saving money, I do know that the easiest place to save money is with food! I’m hoping throughout the year to share a few tips that have helped me!
Today I’m talking about flash freezing! Basically it’s a way to save those vegetables from ending up in the garbage, along with the money you spent on them.
Have you ever bought too many onions? Do you manage to use all of the green onions that come in one package? Maybe you do bountiful baskets, or garden and end up with more than can be eaten before it goes bad. Then it’s time to chop and freeze!
The point of this not to teach you to chop up veggies, or even how to stick them in a bag and freeze them, but if you want them to be usable once you need them again, flash freezing is your new friend!
My photos are with green peppers so you can see the process clearly 🙂
First: Chop your veggies and spread them out on a cutting board or cookie sheet. This will allow each piece to freeze individually. If you throw them all into a bag at this point, the moisture/juices from your food will freeze together, creating one big clump!
Second: Place in your freezer
Third: After a few hours your food will be frozen into individual pieces.
Last: Place in freezer bags and pull what you need out of it, instead of one big frozen clump of peppers!
There are so many ways to utilize this skill to help save a few pennies here and there. I freeze peppers, onions, meat, bananas, the possibilities are endless! Now go look at your produce and see what you can save from the trash can!
