Winter is just around the corner..... actually, it is here! Unlike many I love winter. I love the snow, the cold, and layers of over sized comfy clothing. There are a few things about winter however, that make being frugal a little more complicated. Take fresh produce for example. Not only is the selection and quality lacking during the cold winter months, but the prices jump. I find myself planning my menu for the week purposely avoiding those fruits and veggies that I love but know will cost sometimes as much as 3 times more than the summer months. This year I have decided to do something about it. It's called a freezer.
This week while at Festival Foods I noticed green peppers for less than a dollar a piece and they looked fantastic. I decided to buy a bunch and then cut and freeze them. I also measured them out based on certain recipes that I often use so I can simply grab them out as I need them this winter and won't have to pay the high prices in the store. For me, saving a few extra dollars throughout those long winter months matters. Happy Frugal Freezing!

| Green Peppers measured and ready to go for fajitas, pizza, casserole, and eggs. Old baby food containers are the perfect size for freezing! |

| I also stocked up on ham for casseroles, soup and omelets which was a great buy too! |
