Letter F
We are continuing with our series on how to save on groceries — even if you don’t have a coupon! Â These items below are things we need, and we purchase, even if we don’t have a coupon or one is never available. Â Here are a few food items, beginning with the letter “G” which you can purchase in bulk when you find a great deal!
When you purchase canned fruit cocktail, you can usually store it in a cool, dry pantry for up to 18 months. Â However, make sure that you read the Best Buy date on the product and consume it prior to that time.
Fruit Juice is something many people don’t think about “stockpiling.” Â It can be done if you just keep a few things in mind:
- Keep it refrigerated after purchase.
- Before freezing, make sure that there is space at the top of the carton or jug in order to allow room for expansion when freezing (or you will have a mess).
- Juice can last anywhere from 8 – 12 months when frozen.
There have been times when you’ve see a hot deal on frozen potatoes, such as french fries. Â Next time, go ahead and stock up!
- Keep them frozen  — and they can be good for up to 12 months.
- Once prepared, leftovers should be refrigerated and then eaten within about 4 days or so.
Feta Cheese can be frozen, it just does not last that long in the freezer.
- Should be consumed within a week of purchase.
- If frozen, make sure the container is air tight – -and it will be good for up to 3 months.
Fish is a great item to grab when it is on sale (it can be pretty expensive, depending upon where you live).
- Fresh Seafood is usually good only for a couple of days after purchase.
- If freezing for longer than 2 months, cover/store well in air tight container or wrapping. Â It can be good up to 8 months.
