I'll make soups and stews and the like and freeze them in baggies or small ziplock containers. One day of cooking in bulk, and I have enough prepacked frozen meals for a month of lunches.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Boneless skinless chicken breasts. Already divided into individual packages. Or boneless chicken thighs. Really easy to divide into individual packages cause you just count however many thighs you want to a bag. (Weigh if you insist.) If you don't have the quart freezer bags you can get those at Costco too.
Also Boca burgers and turkey burgers. No need to repackage. Count out as needed and cook frozen. Also good deals on mouthwash, toothpaste, dental floss. IF you brush and floss every day you will go through Costco quantities of these before you know it. If you use soy milk and have room, the Kirkland 12 pack organic soymilk is repackaged Silk. No refrigeration needed until openining.
Also costco egg substitute - if you use egg substitutes regularly two people can easily go through a Costco multi-pack long before expiration. Ditto costo frozen orange juice.

I'm pretty good about buying the jumbo tray of chicken and putting it into sandwich bags with marinade. Haul one out the night before (um, excuse me, I gotta go do this) and dinner!
I also cook huge vats of stuff and keep a few days in the fridge and freeze the rest, if there is any. But I'm a very boring eater.
Hey Robin, can I come see and drool over your new home??!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Cool beans, Lori. Bring the tools and we'll come up with something, I'm sure!

My mother indoctrinated me early. I love seeing older place (and new ones, but they aren't nearly as cool these days.)

I love my 18V combo pack. My sawzall has been put to good use more than once. I'm also very fond of the circular saw I have in that kit.

Had no idea what ND was talking about until I got to the word "saw." In fairness, though, could just as easily have been sound equipment, so...

Doncha need to sawzall anything???
Ha. Famous last words.
Anne is at my next step. I do pretty good with cooking a double batch of whatever I'm making and freezing the rest. But I still need to get to the one big cooking day. Having lots of individually sized actual meals ready to go? Would be awesome.
