Buying food for your freezer

How long can you store stuff in your freezer?
  • cooked chicken breast -4 months
  • cooked meat dishes - 3 months
  • uncooked poultry - 1 year
  • uncooked beef (roasts & steaks) - 1 year
  • uncooked pork (roasts & chops) - 6 months
  • uncooked ground beef - 4 months
  • frozen fruits & vegetables - 1 year
  • bread & tortillas - 3 to 6 months
  • butter - 6 months
-from Better Homes and Gardens January 2009

I try to buy family packs whenever I can & then re-package it into smaller portions.
Make sure you label your foods & rotate, like the butter, or else you'll waste money in the long run when you have to throw stuff out.
