You can usually find a bag of grapes stashed away in my freezer, not only because I like frozen grapes, but because it’s an easy way to save money too. (When I don’t freeze them, they often sit in the fridge until they get mushy, and then no one wants to eat them.)
But grapes are far from the only food you can freeze for money-saving benefits. So I decided to do some research into how to freeze various foods, and I ended up with the following list of 20 foods you can freeze to save yourself time and money.
Watch how I freeze food to save money in the video at the bottom of this post!
But before we get to the list, let’s take a quick look at some of the benefits of making use of your freezer for food storage.
Homemade Pancakes, Waffles, French Toast
- Make extra pancakes, waffles, or french toast during your weekend breakfasts and freeze them for quick and easy breakfasts during the week to come. Place your pancakes (or waffles, or french toast) on a cookie sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Reheat them in your microwave, toaster, or toaster oven.
- Freezing fruit on a cookie sheet before transferring it to a freezer bag makes it a lot easier to pull out a small amount at a time as needed.
- Frozen grapes are one of my very favorite treats! Give them a try sometime and let me know what you think! 🙂
- You can freeze bananas whole and use them later to make banana bread. Toss brown bananas into your freezer with the skin on, then when you’re ready to use them, pull them out, microwave for a few seconds, then squeeze the insides into your mixing bowl.
- Keep a “Smoothie Bag” in the freezer. Toss in extra apple wedges, peaches, pears, bananas, chunks of melon, or any kind of fruit. When the bag gets full, dump it in the blender and make a smoothie!
Flour and Other Grains
- You can store flour in the freezer to make it last longer.
- If you don’t want to store flour in the freezer, you can freeze it for three days when you first bring it home to kill off any bacteria or critters trapped inside.
