I keep my freezer stocked with high quality frozen meat (& could probably live off of it for months), not in a "doomsday prepper" kind of way, but in a "lovingly thinking of my future self" kind of way. This way, I always have food to eat. When I see good meat on sale at the grocery store? Buy two. I get a good deal & I can pull something out the night before & let it thaw in the fridge for dinner. It's the best & I hope to reach the height of luxury one day that allows me to have a garage freezer for more storage. Yes, I'm from the Midwest.
