I love finding bargains for my family, especially when the bargain includes well-priced meat. Meat is so expensive but my husband and son consider it a very important part of the meal, so I like to keep a good variety on hand. I usually shop the sale ads and buy the cuts that are about 99 cents per pound. I recently bought a tray of pork chops, large enough for 4 meals, for about $5.50.
However, the worst part of freezing meat is the messy nature of getting the flimsy pieces into the zippered bag, without making a mess of the zipper and my hands. I stumbled across a little trick that kept a least a little of the messiness at bay.
I divided the meat onto styrofoam plates and then slid the entire plate in the bag at once. No mess and it stacked inside the freezer better as well. Simple!

Great idea! I don’t like touching the slimy raw meat either.
