When I got home, I could barely put a meal together from what I got. <i>Plan ahead!</i>Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273625153055954917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-89628180340921316072012-10-20T10:04:44.867-05:002012-10-20T10:04:44.867-05:00Great post ~ you definitely inspire me and some gr...Great post ~ you definitely inspire me and some great tips here.

With a dayhome I go through scads of it. I was just joking with hubby this morning that we should buy a cow for the backyard.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-73288562583853883112012-10-18T07:56:10.150-05:002012-10-18T07:56:10.150-05:00I never knew that milk could be frozen!

I try to pre prep too but sometimes I don't get very far. I get home and do a little prepping then I'm tired and have to rest for a bit then I get side-tracked and never finish. LOL. I do however like buying chicken in bulk when it is on sale and bringing it home and dividing it into servings and prepping for meals, it really does save time.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565460139511169550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-70460731799894287252012-10-17T14:57:40.255-05:002012-10-17T14:57:40.255-05:00So you put a gallon strait into the freezer when y...So you put a gallon strait into the freezer when you buy it? I would be scared it would explode. So you thaw it out & put it in the frig & it tastes fine?<br /><br />Milk just went up here in my county to over $4.00 a gallon but in the next county it runs $2.50-2.70 a gallon. So im wondering do I need to freeze it too!!!Tina Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644273440522679531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-74154579769922736932012-10-17T11:14:28.179-05:002012-10-17T11:14:28.179-05:00Oh I can see how all that saves time later on, but...Oh I can see how all that saves time later on, but I know it is tiring! I has never occurred to me to put milk in the freezer. I'll try that. And your meal after all that shopping looked great! What a great homemaker you are, Sandra!
