I guess we just have to wait and see if we can find a good deal (and well, need to clear out a space in the basement!) The book did talk about how to avoid freezer burn. I suppose I will need to be discipline and mark everything and organize and pack it well!<br /><br />@Dana - Thanks for visiting! I like your blog names, as you may or may not be able to tell, I love food, and I want to learn to cook next year! Sometimes coupons seem much of a hassle - right now I just keep what I come across easily, instead of out searching for them... we tend to be generic though (but some items we find generic is not as good, e.g. frozen sweet corn! The book also mentioned that Dawn detergent was better than the generic ones - they used less with Dawn so saved money that way as the bottle lasts longer.)christa @ mental foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272799752169958460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454479067313539656.post-22419672886746654342010-11-27T16:40:10.446-06:002010-11-27T16:40:10.446-06:00I wondered about this book.

Would rather buy generic on some to get the good stuff I really want. <br /><br />Hope to see you around the blog sometime.<br />I am a follower.<br /><br />Best,<br />Dana@ Book Girl in the KitchenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319964154749498505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454479067313539656.post-43824274565900310472010-11-14T20:37:10.550-06:002010-11-14T20:37:10.550-06:00We broke down and got a chest freezer, and it has ...We broke down and got a chest freezer, and it has been totally worth it. Yes, there is freezer burn on some stuff, but not all. And the ability to take advantage of great sales, and be ready for unexpected visitors, or for nights when you just don't want to put any effort into cooking, more than compensates!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.com
