Meat Tip: Planning More Than One Meal

Try to incorporate meat that you buy into more than one meal. For example, if you buy ham or roast, plan on making a large pot of soup with the leftovers. Buying whole chickens can be a real bargain because they are usually less expensive than chicken pieces and the bones can be used for soup stock.

Freeze any of the leftovers you don't expect to use in the next day or two.
