Over-ripe fruit on sale? Buy 'em up - what you don't eat that day or next, slice up, mix 'em up, put into medium sized freezer baggies - then whenever your kid wants smoothies, take a pack out, add yogurt or milk, and put in the blender. Instant smoothie. Check out the fruit before you buy it - this works better with melons, berries, apples. bananas.
Ground beef on sale? Press into patties, individual freeze each patty. Instant snack for Junior.
Bigger piece of meat on sale? Cut up what you don't use into bite size pieces, put about 3-4 oz. into each bag, freeze. Want a quick stir fry - well, there's your protein.
And do watch for sales on freezer bags and yard sales & thrift stores for containers. You'll need them. If you're going to pay retail for the containers - buy quality, not price. The cheap plastic containers will snap soon with the constant freezing, defrosting, freezing.
