The freezer is a fantastic money saving tool. Stockpiling your freezer with ready to go meals is a genius way to save time and it’s also a great way to save money.
We’ve talked about saving money on food for years – like in our series How to Save Money on Groceries without Coupons.
The steps to save money with freezer meals are simple and could pay off big time:
- watch the flyers for deep discounts
- stock up on usually big-ticket ingredients – think protein foods – like chicken thighs
- make some easy prep freezer meals with your low-cost score
- pop them in the freezer to make a quick and delicious meal in minutes!
There’s so much to love about chicken thighs.
They are more tender than chicken breasts – plus they pack a bigger Iron punch. Iron is a common nutrient of concern with children – it’s the deficiency I see most often in children in my work as a Registered Dietitian. Chicken thighs are a tasty way to get more Iron into kids.
So when you find chicken thighs on sale – stock up and try one of these chicken thigh freezer meals recipes. Not all are created specifically for the freezer, so you can make them any time – but they will freeze well and please your family!
