Example: Baggie up two porkchops. With a permanent marker, write (2) PC (abbreviation for pork chop). Do this with pork steaks (PS), hamburger (HB). I also cooked up my taco meat for the future and when I bag it up, I write TACO or T on the baggie.
Also when cooking spaghetti sauce, bag it up and write SS on the baggie, etc. Do this also with leftover SS and you will soon have another pot with all of your smaller leftover baggies for another meal! Happy Baggie Days.

Freezing Leftovers

Use freezer bags, as your food product is protected against freezer burn a little more than with the regular storage bag. You also want to put the date on the package as well. Some food items get freezer burned faster than others. Other "dump" items you may put together with the like item and 1 may be freezer burned and the other not burned. Having 5 children I have done this for years and even pat out ahead my hamburger sandwich patties and can package 4 good-sized patties in 1 gallon-sized bag. Since the freezer-type bag is also heavier plastic a person can also recycle them a couple of times before tossing.
