Use Your Freezer to Extend the Life of Foods

I always freeze the following foods:

Powdered milk
Tomato paste (after opening)
Yeast
Whole wheat flour
Nuts
Dill
Garlic
Extra loaves of bread
Popcorn kernels

You will save money because these foods last so much longer if you freeze them rather than store them in a cabinet or even the refrigerator You won't have to throw out spoiled food and you won't have to buy new items as often.

You are so right, Judy. I freeze what I can, but since I downsized from a large fridge to a medium, I can't freeze a lot. Next on my list is a chest freezer. I'll be buying 20 loaves of Walmart French bread and freezing them instead of 10.

As we speak, I need to throw out flour and cornmeal kept in the fridge instead of freezer. They wont rise anymore. I hate wasting food. With the new freezer I'm gonna get, there'll be no more waste.

Thats a good idea. I have a lot of room in my side by side refrigerator at the present time
