Milk freezes well, but takes ages to defrost, keep a pint in there for times like now. As no panic if snow is bad, and local shops often run out.
Freeze loads of veg from garden, peppers frozen are great. Frozen sweetcorn, 10 minutes from picking to in freezer, taste so fresh later.
Only ready meals I have are emergency pizzas i.e. was out working and speed of pizza helps me resist a burger on the way home. For days I forget to defrost meat, a few pies.

Being alone, a pack of bacon/sausage/black pudding/etc. would last over a few days, and I do not eat a cooked breakfast every morning, only when I go camping.
Hence I would buy in bulk, split the packs up, and pack 3-4 rashes of smoked streaky bacon, 1 sausage, and 2 rounds of black pudding into a laminated pouch, vacuum seal, then freeze.
I would then take the required number of packs and keep in my thermo-electric cool box while camping.
I do the same with meat for BBQ, and I make my burgers using 2kg of mince at a time. I would buy a big slap of rump steak and cut it up into single portions.
Once marinated if required, I would pack the meat in single portions, so that I can mix and match as I please, like a burger with a piece of chicken thigh one day, a belly pork slice with lamb ribs the next, steak with chicken the following day etc...
Yes I know I am a control freak!    |

Ooo, I forgot to mention I cook in bulk too, and freeze uneaten portions using good air tight tubs.
Soups, curries, stews etc...
I just need to cook-chill some starch, and add some veg, and I would have a nice meal at lunch using the microwave to heat the lot up.
Cheaper to cook in bulk, as I like to use cheaper cuts of meat that require longer cooking time, as I find them tasty and full of flavour.

I'm training mrshields in the art of what to have in the freezer. But in the one in my other house, I always have minced beef, chicken breast fillets, frozen sliced mushrooms (convenience), frozen diced onions (I hate chopping the blasted things) chips, bread, milk, pies and some ready meals, anything else is usually 'something on offer' Although I do try and have ice lollies in (the rocket shaped ones proved interesting ) |

When we lost most of our appliances last year due to a power surge we had to emtpy the freezer of everything before it rotted and stank the place out. We had so much stuff that had been buried for a couple of years that we threw out that when we went looking for a new freezer and found one we liked, Srien commented that it had less freezer capacity than our old one, to which I pointed out that we didn't need the extra space to store food we won't eat anyway.
Now we have a good selection of meats in the top shelf, ready meals and lots of bacon & sausages on the second shelf, bread on the third, ice cream on the fourth, frozen chips/kids potato stuff in the first drawer and frozen veg in the bottom. All organised, packed and I know where EVERYTHING is.... and Siren isn't allowed to pack the freezer at all at any time. Ever!. |

Agreed - the amount you save buying bulk and multi deals. Particularly on meat.

My freezers (2) usually have game and fish/shell-fish in .... none of it paid for as it comes from a farmer and a fisherman who are friends of my son. last year I had about 30 pigeons breasts, pheasants, grouse, geese, rabbits, lobsters, squat lobsters, prawns, razor clams.
I also buy any fresh meat joints or chickens that have been reduced or are on special and freeze them. |

Lucky you!!!
I too buy fresh meat joints at discounted prices and freeze until required.
I would do that with slices of cooked meat too. Slices of roast beef is handy for making a nice Minestrone soup, and the pets like their cooked meat.
