I think it’s very important to have a stocked refrigerator and freezer. I know it sometimes can be hard to keep items on hand, especially one’s that have expiration dates that expire rather quickly (cheese, meat, dairy). Most of the items below that need to be refrigerated can also be frozen. Having these items on hand can make meal planning a lot easier. About 50% of these items I buy when they are on sale. Take time to look at the weekly flyer from your grocery store and stock up whenever possible! I am a firm believer in saving money when it comes to grocery shopping!
