One huge way we save a lot of money is with our deep freeze. We are able to buy many things in large quantities when they are on sale. I buy a ton of meat that goes on sale due to the expiration date coming close. You can just put it in the freezer and it's still good when you come back around to cooking it in a couple weeks.
I have found things like bacon, sausage, and ribs on sale recently for 99¢/lb! I just throw it in the freezer! Other things I freeze are cheese, butter, soups, broth, bread, and deer meat (for all you hunters out there).
Also consider freezing leftover meals. I do this in large and small servings for family dinners or to take for lunch. Yesterday I found a Boston pork butt on sale for 99¢\lb. It was 6.5lbs! That's a lot of meat! I've got it cooking in the crock pot with some bbq sauce, and I'll keep some in the frig for leftovers and then freeze the rest for later!
If you don't have a deep freeze I would recommend looking into getting one because you really can make your money back with your savings. They do take up some room but keep in mind that they come in small and large sizes too.
What's you favorite thing to freeze?
