Meats
If you’re planning on stocking up on chicken, beef, or seafood during your next warehouse club visit only to shove it in your freezer when you get home, you should reconsider.
Unless you’re prepping for a large family reunion or have a home full of kids, there’s a good chance you’ll forget it’s even there. And, by the time you DO remember it, that 4lb bag of chicken wings may be covered in freezer burn rendering it worthless.
There’s nothing wrong with storing meats you cook regularly, especially if you like to meal prep. However, do it in smaller quantities at your local grocer. You’ll be less likely to overbuy things you don’t need.
Also, watch for weekly sales at your favorite grocery store or coupons in your Sunday paper. For example, we regularly see buy-one-get-one-free deals on packages of sausages, pork tenderloins, chicken breasts, and spare ribs.
