Shop Now, Store For Later

When items are on sell, purchase a little extra and freeze, can, store the extra for later.
It's always a good idea to have a reserve food storage in your pantry.

Items that are good to store:

1. Freeze fresh fruits such as berries, bananas, pineapple, mangoes, etc in plastic bags. Pull from the freezer when needed.
2. If possible, can meat such as chicken or beef when on sell. Jars can be reused and a food processor can be a great investment. Visit the National Center for Home Preservation for details on canning.
3. Freeze vegetables such as broccoli, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc. Try grilling before freezing to be pulled for easy, quick dinners.
4. Freeze meat, poultry and fish  - package in a amount normally used for meals that way it can easily be pulled from the freezer for one meal.
5. Stock up on canned food when possible.
