You are all reminding me of more things that I like to freeze! I always stock up on bread and cheese, too. Those are things that freeze/defrost well. I have also found deals on bagels, biscuits, etc (especially when they are on sale in the bakery section for day old breads). I love having blueberries on hand! :) I don’t know about wild game since I’ve never had it- but that is interesting!

Blueberries freeze beautifully. I spread them on a cookie sheet and freeze until hard, then throw them in a container. All I need is to grab handfuls when I want to make blueberry muffins or pancakes in the winter...when blueberries seem to run about a dollar each at the store. (They are down to 2.99 a pint now...almost cheap enough to buy and freeze!) <abbr><em>mom2fur’s last blog post..<a href="http://sortafrugal.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-frugal-florist-daughter.html" rel="nofollow">My frugal, florist daughter</a></abbr></em> We go through at least a loaf of bread a week, so if it is BOGO, I buy one and throw one in the freezer–so the following week, the bread is ‘free.’

Once frozen, bag it up, and you get out just a little at a time to use as you need it.

As far as freezing what I buy, I freeze the usual stuff, but also included butter and bags of grated cheese when they go on sale.
