Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

but I don't know that it would be worth the extra money to me. I have very few things go bad on me, even though I do buy in bulk. I freeze everything that can be frozen and consider my freezer to be my most valuable tool in saving money on food.

Another thing that keeps from having food go bad is to buy only enough foods that will spoil that you can use first. I know that when there is a sale, I want to over-buy, but I have learned that it is a waste unless it is something I can freeze. And also, many things are good long past the date stamped on the products. I can have eggs for months without ever having rotten eggs. Milk lasts me a week after the "sell by" date. I wrap fresh veggies in a moist paper towel and put them in a sealed plastic bag, and they last much longer than they used to before I did this.
