(No, i'm not a vegan, but we do have a lot meatless meals at our house, because of the costs of meat where we live and many other reasons). Great tips, found it very useful!

I especially like to save the one pound sour cream containers and use them to freeze ground beef (that I bought in bulk to save $), soup, chicken broth, etc. The day before I need something, I just put it in the frig and it's thawed by the time I need it. I don't reuse plastic bags if they've had raw meat in them (just in case my dishwater is not hot enough to thoroughly clean them). We make our own flavored herbal teas for iced tea. This is so easy to do that I wonder why people buy ready-made tea. :) I plan my menu each week by starting with what's in the house and using up foods before they go bad. If I've made too much of something, I'll freeze individual portions to be uses for lunches later on. Most foods and casseroles can be frozen. Sometimes you just have to experiment and see what can be and what cannot be frozen. If I had to only list one thing that would be my biggest money saver, I would say PLANNING! Plan meals, plan everything! Saves trips to the store and helps to make the most of what you have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217878361915190429.post-76310355509899627652013-05-15T17:00:55.046-05:002013-05-15T17:00:55.046-05:00love this idea

I never thought about cracking the bones before making broth....will do that from now on! I make large batches of broth in my crock pot and freeze it for later use. I reuse small-medium jars that once contained store bought products to store the broth. There are some "store bought" jars that cannot be used for canning and using them for freezing things saves my canning ars for other things!

Dehydrated apples are great snacks and its always nice to have frozen chopped apples for pie filling.
