Today I cooked all day–literally. My goal is Mike and I won’t have to go grocery shopping for anything but milk and produce until December. After visiting four stores yesterday and a lot of couponing and planning (about 4 hours), we now have over 50 meals in our freezer!
From my last freezer meal cooking:
- 3 peanut stir frys
- 3 chicken enchiladas
- 1 buttermilk chicken
- 4 lasagna soups for two
- 4 apple squash soups for two
- 4 french onion soups for two
- 6! butternut squash lasagnas (and we just had one and it seems to make 2 meals per pan! That’s 12 meals!) (also, this is amazing!)
- 4 lettuce wrap fillings (PF Changs knock off)
- 6 frozen pizza doughs
- 4 pizza casseroles
- 4 white cheddar chicken casseroles
- 6 pizzas (from costco)
- 2 bags of potstickers
- 10 lbs of chicken
Oh and I got 24 yoplait yogurts with 4 coupons that were save .40 on 6, those coupons double (but I think it didn’t, now that I think about it) and then I got $1.25 off my next transaction with the purchase of 12. So I bought my yogurts first and then used those catalina coupons ($2.50) off the rest of my groceries! I’m going to figure out how to be an extreme couponer for our December shopping trip.
Basically: couponing + once-a-month cooking = win!
