Before I show you what I made during this weekend’s freezer-cooking marathon, I want to start by giving you an idea of what I had on hand when I made my meal plan. Back in December, during the craziness of the holiday season, I got an awesome deal on meat that I never had a chance to share with you. On December 8th, I got $102.32 worth of meat for $41.65:
This deal was the result of excellent timing. I entered the store with a coupon for $5 off any $25 Rancher’s Reserve beef purchase, from a pamphlet that Safeway was giving out during their grand re-opening. When I got my shopping cart, I found a second $5/25 meat coupon on the ground. And I got to the meat department right as they were putting out a goldmine of clearance beef, including a lot of nice steaks – so between the discounts on the beef and my coupons, I saved $60.67. The grand total for all my groceries on this trip was less than $56 – two of the items rang up at the wrong price, and I don’t recall the exact amount of the refund I received, but I believe it was around $3.00; which made the final cost about $53 altogether. The other deals I got included free clementines, free soup, free enchiladas, free peanut butter, free apple juice, and more – you can click here and here to see my receipts.
So as you can imagine, my freezer is still stuffed! The freezer cooking plan I came up with utilized some of this meat – and tomorrow, I’ll show you what fresh ingredients I bought to supplement what I had in my stockpile.
