I re-wrap meats in plastic film and place in zip-locs, seal while
squeezing out air... works for me as I don't use my freezer to horde
meat... I buy only enough to last at most three months, mosty gets
consumed within a month... in the US meat is on sale every day... I
freeze some meats as a convenience so I don't need to shop every day,
not to save money... as I've said, meat is on sale every day. I don't
freeze tender beef anyway, freezing knocks it down a grade or two...
when I want steak for dinner I'll buy whatever cut is on sale that day
and there's always more than one cut on sale. The only beef I freeze
are the tougher cuts used for braising and beef I've ground. I don't
believe in using my freezer for investment purposes, meats don't
appreciate or draw interest. For those with extra grocery money to
spend it's better to stock up on non perishables like canned goods...
way before I'll invest in a porterhouse I'll invest in a giant bundle
of TP for the shithouse. in fact I do stock up on canned goods, I buy
most by the case, all versions of canned tomatoes, canned beans,
canned fish, and especially canned cat food. I stock up on cleaning
products of all kinds, from glass cleaner to laundry soap, and lots of
paper goods, paper towels, paper plates, and of course TP... I bet I
were to count right now I have at least 200 rolls of Scott TP. I
think it's dumber than a rock to stock a big freezer with expensive
perishables, what happens during a power outage, or even if the
freezer goes on the fritz? I store my perishables in the
stupidmarket.
