When most of us think of the freezer, we picture two things: ice cream and meat. Maybe there’s also a bag of peas in there that looks like it’s been through three presidential administrations. But here’s the thing: Your freezer is one of the most overlooked money-saving tools in your kitchen.
Used wisely, it stretches your grocery budget, cuts food waste, and gives you readymade shortcuts when life gets too busy for home cooking. Think of it as the pause button for food. Press pause when prices are low, portions are too big, or leftovers are teetering on the edge of “science experiment.” Later, you get to press play and enjoy the savings.
