My husband offered to make the 25-minute trip to Bargain City, a discount store that sells things in large quantities. This is what he came home with! It does take time to split everything into smaller amounts and bag it into freezer-safe packages, but it saves a lot of money in the end. And it’s really nice to have a stocked freezer!
