Pantry Principle--what's in my freezerThis is how I fill my freezer:--small ziplock bags of shredded mozarella and Colby-jack cheese, which I have portioned out of a 5lb bag --snack-sized ziplock bags if pepperoni, which I have portioned out of a huge bag from Sam’s club --small ziplocks of cooked and chunked chicken breast ( I cook the chicken all at once and “chunk” it, then put it into the zippies) --meal-sized zippies of frozen hamburger --hamburger patties --strawberries and blueberries --30 lb box of French fries --tater tots --tortillas --French bread--whatever is on sale or at Sam’s, which usually has the cheapest price --sliced bread--this I either buy as a “loss leader” or at a baker thrift store, usually about 20-30 loaves at a time --bagels --orange juice --bacon --sausage, rolled and links --various lunch meats --hotdogs --vanilla ice cream --whole wheat flour --wheat germ --wheat or oat bran --raw nuts for cooking --there are certain times, although I have not hit any recently, that I will buy steak, pork or chicken in bulk if it is REALLY cheap--I once found leg quarters for .25 a pound, so I bought 80 lbs! This lasted us for about 4 months. I’ve also been known to buy 50lbs of hamburger or 10 roasts at a time. This way you are utilizing one of the neatest features of “pantriness”--you can take advantage of odd sales, etc. What you won’t find: Not many convenience foods--too expensive and too unhealthy!
