Why does nobody talk about how unmarked freezer bags drain your food budget?
I used to just shove things in the freezer without thinking... then I'd find mystery bags months later and toss them out. It hit me how much money I was wasting on food that went bad because I didn't know what it was. Now, I always use a marker to write what it is and the date on the bag. It sounds small, but it made a big difference... I actually use up my frozen veggies and meat before they get freezer burn. Last week, I found some chicken from three months ago and made a soup instead of buying new. It meant I didn't have to spend ten bucks on extra groceries. Seriously, take five seconds to label... it adds up fast.
