I started planning this out last week. I went though recipes that I had, recipes online as well as other blogs that have done a similar task. I came up with 9 crock pot recipes and added taco, spaghetti and hamburger patties as well. I double (or more) all of the crock pot recipes. I I tried to find things with similar ingredients but not so similar that they were the same. I make a spread sheet for a shopping list and consolidate all of the recipes together. You can often save this way by buying the larger cans of things like tomato sauce rather than a ton of smaller individual ones. Then I went through the sale fliers for Save. Mart, Raley’s, Winco and Safeway and found what was the cheapest (knowing that I was probably only going to be going to Save. Mart and Winco from previous experience). Save. Mart has this awesome sale that on select days a week you can get fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1. They also had chicken leg quarters on sale for $. I usually buy my meat from Save. Mart when it’s on sale because their prices are so low. But here’s the even better tip. Not only do you get on sale meat, but you can often find it marked down because it’s due to “expire”. Most of the meat I got today was $1. I filled my cart for only $6. I went to Winco for everything else. Preparing The Food. Once home I lay everything out on the counter (loving my new kitchen right about now. I try to do all of the same task (like washing) at the same time. I’ve found it saves me some time. Landon is a master green bean snapper! He snapped off all the stems and snapped the bean in half – he did most all of it by himself! Then I cut up everything. I go though the recipes one more time and note what needs to be sliced, diced or chopped. I note the volume of an average 1 of each veggie so measuring out for the recipe is a lot easier. Once the veggies are done I repeat the process with the meat. I do the meat last so it has the longest time in the fridge before being assembled into a meal. Filling the Bags. Then I sit down (yay! I write the recipe title and date and any directions of things that need to be added or special serving instructions on the bag. I try to put as much stuff into the bag as possible, but sometime the liquid wont fit with all the meat and veggies. I make my own turkey stock so I have bags frozen that I’ll just pull out when I pull the main food bag out. Then I fill all the bags with the meat first, more to get the raw meat up off the cutting boards but also to hold the bags up so I can fill it with the veggies and other ingredients better. This time took me a bit longer than I thought, Brad came home from work, I said “dinner’s ready. But if you think about it, that mess really won’t happen again for about 2 months or so. Plus all the time I get to spend playing with the boys instead of cooking. Plus that fact that I only spent a little over $1. It did take me most of 5 hours to do all of this, but that was with the two little ones “helping”. Landon helped a ton and I powered through when Riley was napping to get a lot done. Just know it’s totally possible to do. Not pictured is the spaghetti sauce, hamburger patties and taco meat! Forgot to take a picture of those! Have you done something like this?
