21 surprising items you can freeze to save money. Learn how to save money and what regular everyday items you can freeze. Living frugally and saving money on household expenses.

Saving Money On Food

You cut coupons, you shop the store flyer, you price compare. You opt to bake your own pastries and bread to save money. Have you thought about all the foods you can freeze to help you save money?

Buying A Freezer

One of the best things we did was buy an extra freezer.  You can pick them up cheap at second hand stores or on online sales.  We freeze berries, meat, freezer meals, soups, breads and so much more.

Freeze Extra Food

Being able to freeze the extra food means we can take advantage of great sales. We live in berry country so every year we pick and freeze the fresh berries to use all year round. Another great reason to have a freezer is time saving freezer meals.

Freezer Meals

Having a freezer stocked with easy to make or premade meals is a huge time saver during the busy work week. Checkout this great list of freezer meals you can prepare today and have ready for easy dinners.

You Can Freeze

I didn’t know you can freeze milk or eggs before I started researching my food freezing posts.  Now that I know, we stock the freezer with an additional container of milk and milk alternative like coconut milk. 

Freezing Eggs

I haven’t tried freezing eggs yet, our family seems to go through eggs before I can do anything with the extras.  But it is great to know if there is a great sale on eggs I now have options.

Freezing Avocado

Who doesn’t love avocado. The down fall to avocado is it turns brown if you don’t use it up fast enough.  Now you don’t have to worry because you can freeze the extras and there is no food waste.

Freezer Bag Soup

Talking food waste, in our house we have a freezer bag in the freezer we add the extra vegetable ends, meat bones (separate bag) and herbs to that we save.   We freeze these and when we are ready to make bone broth or soup stock we have all the ingredients ready to go.

Freezing Food

It is simple and easy to freeze food and save money. Even if you just freeze a loaf of bread or a stick of butter or your favorite meal you are still saving money.  

Food Stockpile

Stockpile your freezer when things go on sale at the grocery store or when you decide to bake or prepare freezer meals.  Every little bit helps.
