Nancy is ready to teach you how to revamp meals to increase variety, how to buy in bulk to stock up your pantry, and how to portion out purchased meat products. Check out this video to get the inside scoop!
Be Efficient & Reuse
Any leftover meat you may have cooked up can be used the next day for lunch or dinner. Don't waste the food you bought, instead, get creative.
Buy In Bulk
It’s smarter to buy meat and seasonings in bulk to save money. Buying in bulk also limits the number of trips you need to make to the grocery store!
Stock Up
It’s a good idea to stock up your pantry with soup, pasta, or chili beans. This way, you will never go hungry if dinner plans with friends change, or if you’re extra hungry one night.
Portion, Please
Nancy suggests to portion out your meat and freeze it in individual plastic bags. Remember to label your bags, so you know what to take out of the freezer for your next meal!
