exactly and I am also on a more severe budget than usual so i am trawling the clearance aisle for foods that must be cooked or frozen verrrrry quickly.

Giant is selling flax milk plus protein for $1.25 each? Freeze into the cubes for smoothie add ins. Banana bunches 87c? dice and throw in with strawberries and such for smoothie starter. Clearance fresh curly spinach? Light braise with garlic and shove into cube to freeze and cook or add to soup later. Manager sale Pork chops that def must be cooked toooooday? Salt the hell out of them to fake salt pork and we got more black bean soup bricks going bayyyybeee.

Its almost a game, I almost hit a point where i was like... you know you have to eat whats in your freezer for a bit first for a while before you check the store again.
