When buying ground hamburger for my family, I have found that buying in bulk and freezing is a great way to save us money. But, how do you store all the meat? I have learned that if you buy a package of hamburger that is about 6 pounds, you can separate the meat into quart size ziplock bags (a pound a piece).

If you have children, you might even want to freeze some of the hamburger in patties in sandwich bags, then put them in the larger freezer bag. They thaw in microwave using "defrost" in about 2 minutes and then can go into the frying pan.
I also divide very large roasts into roast, stew beef, and steak. Much cheaper that way.
This is my "Duh" moment. I never thought about storing meat flat like this. I've put them into patties, but never something as simple as this! Great tip, can't wait to try it. :)
