Have you ever wondered what foods you can freeze?? There are many foods that freeze well, but today I want to share about a few food items you probably didn’t know you could freeze! Knowing how to freeze these foods will help you save money and prevent kitchen waste.

Supplies Needed to Freeze Food
There are a few supplies you will need to help you freeze food. I promise, the initial investment is well worth the amount of money you will save!
I use each of these products when freezing food, and they all work great! A vacuum sealer does the best job of getting all air out of the bag, which is important! So if you will be doing a lot of freezing, I do recommend getting the vacuum sealer. But, each of these products will work.
Benefits of Freezing Food
You might be wondering why it’s important to know how and what foods to freeze. Well, I’ll tell you!
Not only is freezing food a great way to save money on groceries, it’s also a fabulous way to prevent excess food waste in the kitchen.
Here are three of the most common times I freeze food to save money:
1. Freezing Leftovers
Have you ever had to throw out food from your fridge or pantry because it had gone past it’s expired date before you could use it?!?!?
This happens to me All.The.Time!
The trick???? I’ve learned to freeze my leftovers, rather than storing them in the refrigerator. This one simple change has saved me so much money and has prevented a lot of waste in the kitchen. Win, win!
You can easily freeze leftovers by putting them into a freezer ziplock bag or container and tossing them into the freezer! Most leftovers will stay good in the freezer for 3 months. These frozen leftovers are perfect for a quick meal on busy days.
2. Freezing Sale Items
Another reason to freeze food items is to stock up on sale prices. When I find a great sale on perishable foods, I stock up on multiples and freeze most of it to use for later. I just really love not having to pay full price for groceries (or really for anything!).
To find grocery items on sale in your area I recommend downloading the free Flipp app. This awesome app scans all of the local grocery sale ads so you can easily see what’s on sale each week.
When you find a good deal, stock up and freeze the excess!
3. Freezing Foods Before They Expire
If you have items in your pantry that are close to reaching their expiration date, you might want to stick these items in the freezer! The freezer will prolong their shelf date and give you more time to using it, preventing you from having to throw it away. Because, as I like to remind my kids, when you throw food away, it’s the same thing as throwing your hard earned money away. You spent money on that food! Freeze it!
Foods You Didn’t Know You Can Freeze
Alright, now let’s get to the fun part! Most people know that you can freeze strawberries, onions, chicken, etc. Today’s article is all about foods you probably didn’t know that you can freeze.
1. Butter
Butter is a great item to buy on sale and freeze for later use.
How To Freeze:
To keep butter fresh for a few months you can easily freeze it in it’s original packaging. If you are wanting to store it in the freezer for longer, I would put the butter in a freezer bag.
Use the butter within 4 months for best results.
How To Defrost:
You can defrost butter in the refrigerator overnight, or set it on the countertop to let it thaw at room temperature.
2. Flour
Another great item to buy on sale and freeze for later is flour.
How To Freeze:
To freeze flour put it in an airtight container, like a freezer bag, or one of these storage containers. Fill the container as full as possible, the less air the better!
You can keep flour in the freezer for 6-12 months.
How To Defrost:
Let flour thaw at room temperature before using.
3. Eggs
Most people are shocked when I tell them that eggs are freezable! But, it’s true!!! You can freeze eggs.
How To Freeze:
To freeze eggs, just crack them into a bowl and whisk together with a fork. Next, you will pour the eggs into a freezer bag or container, get out as much air from the bag as possible and put them in your freezer. So easy, right?!?!
Eggs will stay good in the freezer for 6-12 months.
How To Defrost:
Thaw eggs in the refrigerator and then use them to make scrambled eggs, omelets, or in baking.
4. Avocados
Another great food to freeze is avocados! Frozen avocados can be used in dips, baking, or I like to put ours in smoothies.
How To Freeze:
You can freeze avocados by chopping them into small pieces and placing the pieces into a freezer bag or freezer container, and then putting the bag into the freezer.
Use your frozen avocados sometime between 3-6 months.
How To Defrost:
Let the frozen avocados sit in the refrigerator overnight to defrost.
5. Cream
Many recipes call for a small amount of cream, which is great except for it leaves us with a large container of leftover cream. Save this excess in the freezer to use at a different date.
Frozen cream cubes will stay fresh for 3-6 months.
How To Defrost:
You can pull your cream cubes straight from the freezer and directly into your soups or recipes. They can also be defrosted by placing them in the refrigerator overnight.
6. Bread
Buy bread when it is on sale, and then freeze it to use for later! We have a “day old bread store” in my city that sales loaves of bread that are close to their expiration dates. I love to go every few weeks and buy a few loaves to stick in my freezer and use from time to time.
How To Freeze:
Bread is one of the easiest thing to freeze! All you have to do is put it in the freezer, and done!
The packaging the bread comes in from the store is enough to keep the bread fresh for a few months! See how easy?!?!
Bread can stay in the freezer for 3 months before using.
How To Defrost:
Your bread will taste best if you defrost it in the oven. Just warm your oven to 325 degrees, remove bread from packaging, and let it sit in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
7. Grated Cheese
Cheese is a great item to buy on sale, or in bulk and then grate to freeze for later. Cheese can turn a little crumbly when frozen, so it works best to grate it first and then freeze.
How To Freeze:
After grating your cheese, simply put it in a freezer bag, remove all of the air, and place it in the freezer.
You can keep frozen cheese in the freezer for 6-9 months for best results.
How To Defrost:
Let the cheese defrost in the refrigerator overnight before using.
8. Milk
Yes! You can freeze milk! Shocked??? I was too!
How To Freeze:
You shouldn’t freeze a milk carton that’s completely full. So, use about 3/4 of a cup from the carton before freezing. This allows room for expansion.
Once you have a small amount of milk out of the carton, you can stick it in the freezer. That’s it!
Milk will stay good in the freezer for 6 months.
How To Defrost:
Defrost milk in the refrigerator overnight before using.
Found a deal on chips? Buy a few and throw them into your freezer to save for your next party (or midnight snacking if you’re like me….).
How To Freeze:
Chips can be frozen in the sealed bag they came in. All you have to do is toss them into the freezer, bag and all!
Make sure to use your frozen chips within three months of freezing.
How To Defrost:
To use, just thaw them at room temperature! Easy peasy!
10. Pizza Dough
When I make our Friday Night Pizza Dough I always double the recipe and freeze half for the next Friday. This gives me something easy to pull out and use for a quick dinner (and it totally looks like I spent all day making it….when I really just got it from the freezer, win!).
How To Freeze:
To freeze pizza dough you need to put it in a freezer bag, get all of the air out, seal tightly, and freeze.
Use your frozen dough within 3-6 months.
How To Defrost:
When you are ready to use your frozen pizza dough, let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
11. Cooked Pasta
Freezing cooked pasta is a great way to preserve any pasta leftovers you might have from dinner. You can freeze spaghetti, rotini, fettuccini noodles, and more! As long as they don’t have the sauce on top, they can be frozen.
How To Freeze:
To freeze cooked pasta, you will first need to let it cool completely and then lightly toss the pasta with olive oil.
Next, lay the pasta in a single layer on a cookie sheet. This doesn’t need to be perfect, but flash freezing does help prevent the pasta from clumping together in the freezer.
Stick the cookie sheet in the freezer and let the pasta freeze for about 1-2 hours (this is called flash freezing).
Once frozen, scoop the pasta off of the cookie sheet and put it in a freezer bag or a freezer container.
Place in the freezer and use within 3 months.
How To Defrost:
You can reheat your frozen pasta in the microwave or by boiling it in hot water.
To do this you will need to fill an ice cube tray cube with herbs to about 3/4 full, next add olive oil until the cube is full and freeze.
Once frozen, take the individual cubes out of the tray and place them into a freezer bag.
For best results use frozen herbs within 3-6 months.
How To Defrost:
You can put the frozen herb cubes straight from the bag into soups and stews.
14. Pancakes
Pancakes are my busy mom hack to less stressful mornings! They are so easy to double your favorite pancake recipe, pop half of them in the freezer, and then pull them out for breakfast when you just don’t have time to cook anything else!
Frozen grapes are one of our very favorite snacks. They are juicy and delicious! My kids claim (and I have to agree!) that frozen grapes taste just like a grape snow cone! You must try this! When you find grapes on sale, buy a few extra bags to freeze.
How To Freeze:
The first step to freezing grapes is to wash them and then let them dry thoroughly. Once the grapes are dry place them into a freezer bag, take out all air, seal tightly and then place in the freezer.
Use within 3 months.
How To Defrost:
Don’t defrost your frozen grapes! Eat the grapes straight out of the bag for a delicious snack!
17. Nuts
To keep your nuts fresh for longer, freeze them!
How To Freeze:
Nuts are easy to freeze! Just put them into a freezer bag, get out all of the air, and seal tightly.
Frozen nuts should be used within 6 months.
How To Defrost:
Let your frozen nuts sit in the refrigerator overnight to defrost and then use.
18. Mashed Potatoes
I grew up on an Idaho potato farm, so I am alllll about the potatoes! My husband loves to make mashed potatoes at our house, but he always tends to make more than we eat (eyes bigger than the stomach thing…..).
Instead of throwing these extra potatoes away, we freeze them to use for another day!
How To Freeze:
Freeze your mashed potatoes in a freezer bag or freezer container. Remove as much air as possible, seal tight and put into the freezer.
How To Defrost:
To use frozen mashed potatoes, let them thaw in the refrigerator and then reheat in a small pot over the stove. While heating on stove add a couple of tablespoons of sour cream. This will give them a yummy and creamy consistency.
19. Frosting
Yep! You can even freeze frosting! And it’s very easy to do!
How To Freeze:
Just scoop the frosting into a freezer bag, get all of the air out and seal tightly. Done and done!
The bag can then be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
How To Defrost:
To thaw frosting, let it sit in the refrigerator over night and then it’s ready to use!
In Conclusion
These are just a few suggestions of the many, many foods available to freeze. I encourage you to start trying to focus on stocking up when you find a good grocery sale, and freezing it all for for later. It’s so fun to have a freezer full of budget friendly foods!
You will begin to see a huge savings in the amount of money you are spending on food if you start using your freezer more!

Wondering what the best family games are??? Keep reading!
If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE to play family board games. I love the competition, I love the laughs, and I love spending an evening with my favorite people……but I also do not like to spend a lot of money.
Our little family has Family Game Night every Sunday evening. I brought this tradition with me from my childhood and have loved sharing it with my children. Family game night usually consists of some popcorn, fruit and snacks while playing a pile of games together. The focus is having fun, laughing and enjoying time together.
I also love to get together with friends and family members for game nights. The great things about games is that there is always something for everyone. With hundreds and hundreds of games to choose from, every personality and preference can find a favorite game to play.
Games are easy to share with others, making it so cheap for everyone involved. Think about it! If everyone bought just one game, and then gets together to share the games, you get to enjoy multiple games for the price of one! Frugal win!!

Where to buy family games?
There are many different places to buy board games for families. You can buy them on Amazon or at any store that sell toys.
My favorite place to buy games though are at thrift stores. The game section is my first stop every time I go to my local thrift store. Most times I don’t buy anything, but some times I find some great games for only a few dollars!
I have also seen used family games sold on Facebook Marketplace, so make sure to check there!
The Best Family Games Under $20
Here are a few of my recommendations of the best family games under $20. You do not need to spend a lot of money to enjoy a fun game night with your family!
Strategy Games
Strategy games are my very favorite games to play! I love being able to use my mind while playing!
Skull King
I honestly love every game made by Grandpa Beck and Skull King is at the top of that list! It requires strategy, bidding, with a little mix of pirates and mermaids mixing things up. This game is a fun to play over and over again!
CodeNames
Codenames is a very popular game, and for good reason. To play this game you form two teams and use word association to try to get your teammates to guess which words you are thinking of. It feels a little complicated when you first open the box, but it is actually really easy to learn.
The Chameleon
Another fun family game is The Chameleon. It requires a small amount of strategy to track down the chameleon and win the game. But it is very easy to learn and play!
Forbidden Island
We play Forbidden Island very regularly in our house. Forbidden Island is a different than other games because you do not compete against each other, instead you work together on the same team to beat the game. Together, as a team you try to “save” the island before it sinks. It can get a little stressful, but I love when our little family is forced (encouraged???) to work together.
Kingdomino
Kingdomino is a fun strategy game for families. This game is similar to dominos, where you are trying to connect certain tiles, but it has a fun twist and strategy to it as you try to build your kingdom.
If you are looking for some laugh out loud games for groups to play together, here are a few that we love.
Watch Ya Mouth
Watch Ya Mouth is such a fun party game. It is impossible to play this game without laughing the entire time. Promise. It is probably one of the funniest games I have ever played.
Mad Gab
It’s easy for all ages to play Mad Gab. The game play involves scrambled words that you sound out to try to guess the correct phrase. It’s so funny to listen to your teammates trying to guess the phrase while they sound the words out over and over.
Pit is fast paced, interactive, and loud. The game works by trying to convince others to trade cards, or “crops” with you while they are trying to convince others to trade with them. It is a race to be the first to collect all of your crops. My kids love playing this game and it’s a great way to bring others out of their shell. It is currently on sell for less than $15!
Telestrations
Telestrations is a mix between Pictionary and Telephone. Everyone draws a word, then passes their drawing to the next person who guesses what you drew, this continues through everyone. It’s so funny to see what the end product is and how the pictures change.
Easy to Play Games
If you are looking for some easy, quick games to learn and play here are a few of my favorites below!
Cover Your Assets
The game Cover your Assets is fast, easy to learn and seriously addicting. It’s honestly one of my faves ever! I’ve always loved money games and the ability to feel like a “quick millionaire.” This is a great game for families!
Exploding Kittens
Kids love Exploding Kittens! It’s simple to learn and so much fun to play. The idea behind the game is so unique and original. There is a little bit of strategy involved, but not necessary to enjoy the game.
Hedbandz
Our family loves to play Hedbandz! It’s really easy for everyone to play and keeps you laughing! To play this game everyone wears a headband with a clue card inserted. You take turns asking each other yes or no questions to try to correctly guess the clue on your headband.
Anomia
Anomia is a fun group game and works well for all personalities, even those normally quiet will start shouting and laughing while playing. You do need to be able to read, so it is geared towards older kids. Anomia is small and compact which makes it easy to carry around on trips or over to someone’s home.
Bananagrams
I absolutely love Bananagrams, or as my family likes to call it, Speed Scrabble. It has the same strategy as scrabble, use your letter tiles to connect words together in a grid. But, it is fast paced and has an extra element of stress (in a very good way). If you are a fan of word games, you will love bananagrams!
Farkle
Farkle, or The Dice Game as I grew up calling it, is a game of luck and risk. The more you risk, the more lucky you might get. It’s very easy to play, just simple rolling the dice and keeping score. Farkle can turn into a lengthy game or played as a quick time filler. Plus, it’s a great deal at less than $10!
Spot It
There is really no game like Spot It! It is easy for all ages to play, has many different game play options, and each round goes quickly. My kids can seriously play Spot It for hours! We absolutely love it and I recommend it to everyone!
Clue is a classic, and for good reason! It’s a good old fashioned mystery game as you make guesses trying to guess who committed the crime. My kids love getting to go from room to room and write their suspicious in their “clue notebook.”
Sequence
I grew up playing Sequence and it’s been fun to introduce it to my kids again. It’s a very simple strategy games, easy enough for young kids to follow and enjoy playing. The goal is to get your tiles all in a row on the game board.
Qwirkle
Qwirkle is a game for all ages! The game is played by matching tiles together based on shapes and colors. It’s a fun game to play while visiting with your friends and passing time.
Taboo
You just can’t go wrong with Taboo! It’s such a fun game where you try to get your teammates to guess the word on your card, but if you say one of the “no-no” words then you will get buzzed by the buzzer! This has been a popular game for years for good reason! You can get it for less than $20 on Amazon!

I’ve been finishing up the last of my Christmas shopping the past few days. And as I’ve been shopping I’ve been so grateful for all of my free Amazon gift cards I’ve been saving up during the year. They help make Christmas much more affordable!
I get asked a lot about how to earn free amazon gift cards, and I decided it was time to share all of my favorite ways! These hacks won’t make you rich, but they will help ease some of the financial burden you may feel.
Personally, I save up my Amazon gift cards all year to use for Christmas. But, you could also use them to help pay for birthday presents, household expenses, back to school supplies, sports equipment, and everything in between!

Frequently Asked Questions About Earning Amazon Gift Cards
Before we get into how to earn free gift cards, let’s discuss a few of the most commonly asked questions. Because if other people have asked me these questions….then I’m assuming you are wondering the same thing!
Can you actually get free Amazon gift cards?
Yes! You can! I know that there are a lot of scams and to good to be true deals out there. But, the hacks I’m sharing with you today are all totally 100% legit. I’ve earned Amazon gift cards using each of these methods and can vouch that they work and are safe!
Does it take a long time to earn a gift card?
This really depends on which method you are using, and how often you are using it. Taking surveys through Swagbucks or Pinecone will probably help you earn gift cards faster then the reward apps. However, it can take a while to earn a significant amount of gift cards cash. Remember that slow and steady wins the race!
How do I redeem my gift cards?
When you have enough points to cash out for a gift card all you will need to do is select an Amazon gift card from the reward section of each of these apps/websites.
You will then be given a 14 digit code. To redeem the code simply log into your Amazon account, and click on Gift Cards. You will then enter the gift card code. The money will now be available to credit to your next Amazon purchase! So easy!
Ways To Earn Amazon Gift Cards
There are many easy ways to get free Amazon gift cards! I like to use a mix of options to help the savings add up quickly! Here are a few of my favorite methods.
1. Swagbucks
Swagbucks was the very first rewards website I ever signed up for many many years ago. They offer many different options to help you get Amazon gift cards. You can earn points, called Swagbucks, for watching videos, taking surveys, searching the internet, shopping online, and so much more! You can then redeem these points for gift cards to Amazon.
Another great way to easily earn free Amazon gift cards is to take surveys using survey junkie. It’s so easy to do! Just sign up for survey junkie here and fill out a profile to have surveys matched to your interests.
You will then be offered surveys to complete. This is the perfect activity for when you are standing in line, watching TV, or have some time to kill. Each survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and pay on average around $1-$3.
Each of your completed surveys will earn you points, these points can then be redeemed for Amazon gift cards.
3. Upside
Do you fill your car up with gasoline??? Then you should be using the Upside app!
Upside gives you cash back, which can be redeemed for Amazon gift cards, at participating gas stations. Most days I am able to get 5-20 cents cashback per gallon, but if you sign up using this link and use coupon code AFF25 then you will get a bonus 25 cents cashback per gallon!
I recently started taking surveys on Pinecone Research and have loved everything about it. It’s definitely my favorite survey website.
After registering on the Pinecone website you will begin to receive emails inviting you to complete surveys. The surveys are fairly easy to fill out and take about 10-15 minutes to complete.
You will be paid $3 for each completed survey which can be redeemed for Amazon gift cards.
5. Ibotta
There are so many cashback apps that will reward you with free Amazon gift cards. The app that I’ve been using the longest is Ibotta.
Ibotta offers a huge selection of rebates. I have earned cash back on a wide selection of products, including milk, apples, pantry staples, broccoli, beauty and household items.
One of my favorite things about Ibotta though is that they offer cash back on what they call “any brand” items. For example, today they are having rebates on any brand of yogurt or diapers that you buy. So you can buy your favorite brand, and get some money back at the same time.
Plus, they always offer a small cash back on “any item.” So, I can buy anything in the store, and earn some money back.
Your cash back is instantly put into your Ibotta account. Easy Peasy!
You can request your cash once you reach $20. I usually get it deposited into my paypal account or redeem it for an Amazon gift card.
6. Fetch Rewards
Probably the easiest app for earning Amazon gift cards is Fetch Rewards. This app rewards you with points when you scan your gift cards, and then you can redeem the points for gift cards to places like Amazon, Target, Sephora, Best Buy, restaurants, and more!
How it works:
Download the free Fetch Rewards app
Grocery shop like you normally do
Scan your receipt into the Fetch Rewards app
You will automatically be rewarded points based on what you bought.
One of the best things about Fetch Rewards is that you can start redeeming your Amazon gift cards at only $3, and it is so easy to earn that first $3.
7. Discover Card
Another easy way to get free Amazon gift cards is to use a Discover credit card. With each purchase made on a Discover card you will earn cashback. You can redeem the cashback as credit on your card, or you can use it to purchase items from Amazon. We allow this cashback to accumulate throughout the year and only use it to help us pay for Christmas.
BONUS! You can get a $50 bonus when you sign up for a Discover Card and make your first purchase within 3 months. Just make sure you pay it off monthly!
In Conclusion
Now that you know how to earn free Amazon gift cards, it’s time to start earning! There are so many things you could do with some extra Amazon cash!
