From Schnuck's in STL. I rode my bicycle up to get a few things, and
they had skinless boneless chicken breasts (no salt or water added)
for $2.29/lb in the SMALL packs! 3 breasts per pack, I got 6 packs, so
18 breasts!!

And I still have basil growing! YUM!!!

That's a great price. I didn't expect to find them for this low, but
was overjoyed to, as I miss eating chicken, and I don't buy it when
it's normally much more expensive. So I stocked up. Gonna wrap each
one in foil and freeze 'em.

wrap them first in plastic wrap. Then over wrap. Foil can get nicks
and cuts that allows air in.

They've been $1.99/lb all summer. The market in town is usually
expensive for most items but they do have some good sales so if I can
use the item I stock up... often they have 2 liter bottles of
coke or Pepsi for 99¢ so I buy them to save from having to haul heavy
items a distance from the stores where I buy other items even if the
same price. Rhey have good prices on cat food too so I buy lots. I
think the market in town has an in with a local pork farmer, they sell
wonderful pork at low prices, so I stock up on pork cuts too... they
have the best loin of pork roasts at less than $2lb. None of their
meats contain additives.

then I would wrap only in plastic wrap. Foil is too expensive and
doesn't do as good a job in this case. The only things I over wrap in
foil are sausages (especially pork because it loves to pick up funky
smells) and cheeses.

Use plastic wrap (or foil if that's what you really want to use) to
wrap them in the desired portions and then put them into 1 gallon
freezer bags. It's easy enough to take out the amount you want and
reclose the bag.

Yes. I always group individually wrapped items in 1 gallon or 2.5
gallon bags. Nothing gets overlooked that way. Plus, the extra bag
can be re-used many times.

I wrap skinless boneless chicken breasts three to a 1 quart zip-loc,
pork chops likewise... I trim off excess fat first so that they fit
more easily and I squeeze out the air as I seal. I don't use foil for
freezing food and with zip-locs plastic wrap is redundant. Actually I
use very little foil... I'll line a jelly roll pan with foil for
baking sweet potatoes, even if the pan is coated with teflon the
caramelized sugary ooze is near impossible to clean without long
soaking.

I don't buy that much of the same item to fill gallon bags... and then
as some are removed you have all those large partially empty floppy
plastic bags to deal with... before you know it your freezer is a pig
sty. I didn't know they make 2 1/2 gallon zip-locs... they'd be neat
trash bags. I get annoyed becaue I can't find 2 quart zip-locs, they
go from 1 qt to 1 gal, nothing inbetween.

All good recommendations, but I like them individually wrapped in
foil, because then I can build any configuration of aluminum foil
wraopped chicken bricks I need in whatever corner of the freezer I
need to!

Just packaged 'em all up and they are freezing now!

I didn't know IKEA sold baggies. It would make my day to find the
half gallon size again! That was my favorite size to use and I still
have situations where a quart is too small but a gallon is too large.

Do you have a url? I tried Googling, but .5 gallon and 2-quart didn't
work for me.

Has anyone tried individually coating them with ice? I haven't but i
don't think it would be hard to do. Freeze on a cookie sheet, remove
and spray with water or dip in icewater. It will take a couple of coats
to seal.

I spent time searching with no luck, so went to ziploc.com. They only
show sandwich size, 1 pint size, 1 quart size, and 1 gallon size... no
2 quart size:

Perhaps other plastic bag companies nake a 2 quart size... I think
ziploc is missing out big time by not filling that gap, because I
don't give a rat's B-hind what brand of plastic bags I buy... gotta be
the douchebag conspiracy because I've not seen store brand or generic
2 quart sealable storage bags. Amazingly I can't find my size ziplocs
but I can find 2 quart condoms that fit me, a bit snug but that's very
acceptible.
