Saving On Saturday

There is nothing mind blowing or extremely different in this post. But I wanted to share just to remind myself and anyone else who reads that simple things make a difference in the long run.

Today, we spent around 2 hours clean, organizing and making a list of the items that are in our outside freezers.   I am pleasantly surprised to find that we have over 60 meals currently available in our freezers.  We now have an accurate list and even should be able to find the items that are needed to make our meals.

Plus check out how nice it actually looks!

The challenge is a little bit different for me than it has been in the past. I can honestly say that our freezer is full stocked.  I would normally decide to do a clean out the freezer challenge and use everything up but the summer is fast approaching. This summer I should have some additional money and time to actually stock the freezer with lots of easy to prepare meals for the coming school year. So I think that my first challenge is to make double meals.. Meaning if I can make double of something and freeze why not this way I can simple just heat and eat.  I also want to focus on keeping the grocery budget way under control.  But also take advantage of deals if they appear!   So for now we will continue to eat out of the freezer and try to keep it full stocked at the same time!
