We've all been there — you bought everything you needed for a delicious salad, then a practice, carpool, or game got in the way, and by the time you get around to making it, everything has gone bad. What a waste! When you want to get those greens but feel like your schedule is keeping you from them, buy frozen vegetables to ensure that you always have them on hand for a quick heat up. This will save you money and time. Also, invest in romaine lettuce for those salads since it lasts longer.
Same goes with meat. If you keep some ground beef in the freezer, just thaw it, and bam — taco night! Have everything for that Crock-Pot dish except the chicken? Not if you bought some frozen.
