Frozen Food Month





Photo from allyou.com article



This is frozen food month, meaning the best deal on frozen items is NOW! So many of us stock our freezers, pantry, etc. when we find a good deal because of our family size. Others stockpile for religious reasons or just to plan ahead. You never know if something might happen to you where you can't work or where you might lose your job. Having items on hand can give you peace of mind if ever a situation comes about and you have to rely on what you already have in your house. Or, what if a friend or family member falls on hard times? Wouldn't it be great to have a bag full of necessities ready to go? I don't personally believe hoarding unnecessary items is the way to go, but if you're going to use them and you can get a great deal, why not stock up? By great deal, I mean super cheap or even free! At the bottom is a link to let you know how long items keep in the pantry and freezer. I like to write the expiration dates on the top of everything. I keep a sharpie in a kitchen drawer. I also write dates on leftovers with a dry erase marker to avoid waste!

 



I love a good deal on heath and beauty items and cleaning products too. These are probably the easiest freebies to acquire, you just have to be patient. Paying for toothpaste almost seems silly these days! But there are also deals to be had on real food. So get your coupons out, check the ads, and find some great items for your freezer. Our area is harder without double coupons, but don't be afraid to shop different stores. You may find the best deal is at CVS or Walgreens, where you wouldn't normally buy food.

And let us all know your latest score!

Free/Discount Offers for Parents of Twins
It’s a good idea to call each place before mailing away your requests, they change their mailing addresses frequently, and sometimes change their offerings as well. Make plenty of copies of your birth certificates and insist on the offers for multiples, often personnel aren’t aware of the programs available.
