If you regularly purchase expensive cuts of meat, for example, T-Bone, filet mignion and pork tenderloin, this is a great book that will provide you with money saving options.

Dinner’s in the Freezer

Author: Jill Bond

This book is similar in concept to Once a Month Cooking, Jill Bond has added her own twist to the concept. We would consider her to be a “black belt” in kitchen frugality. Her system is to cook enough meals to last 3 months, storing many of them in zip-top freezer bags. It takes her two days to complete her entire menu. This is usually done over a three-day weekend – to allow recovery time.

Once a Month Cooking

Author: Mimi Wilson , Mary Beth Lagerborg

So many of us these days are juggling so many balls that having several meals already prepared and waiting in the freezer really does cut down the stress in our lives.
