- Flavorite Olive Oil is only $3.99

FREEZER STOCK:
- Ground Beef. You can have the butcher package your beef in convenient 1 or 2 pound packages for quick and easy meals. OR, buy a large economy pack and split your own. I use Ziploc containers so I can use the containers repeatedly. One pound fits perfectly and the seal tight lid prevents freezer burn for up to 6 months. This is a great price, we probably won't see it again for a few months. How many meals will you prepare in 4 months at a higher price if you do not stock up now?
- Kraft Cheese at 2 for $4 with printable coupons, we should be stocking this item for future meals. Cheese is an easy freeze, and most families will easily use 1.5 bags per week. To plan for the next 13 weeks, shoot for 18 items. If you're new to coupon cooking, plan for 6 weeks and purchase 9.
