If you need to pack a lunch, my daughter tells me that putting your own soup in a pint-sized canning jar works well. It seals and doesn’t spill en route, and can be microwaved without melting.
I have 5 mouths to feed.
My brother has 5 mouths to feed.
One thing I found saves us a TON of money:
We have a semi-annual “meat buy”. We go in together and purchase over 300lbs of meat. All kinds...all cuts of chicken, pork, all cuts of beef and ground beef.
We get it from local wholesale meat distributor. This distributor will sell to the public but there is something like a 200lb minimum to buy.
We spend a half day seperating it and vacum sealing it with my little seal-a-meal machine. We both have big freezers in our garages to keep it in.
It takes quite a while to seal up 70 lbs of ground beef into 1 pound packages but when its over its soooooo convenient to walk out to the freezer and grab a 1 pound pack for whatever we are cooking that night.
We never really added it up but rough estimates has us saving 75% under retail cost.
