Super Stockpile 2/27

Another great week of Italian Days at Publix. I deliberately didn’t buy any 14.5 oz cans of tomatoes last week figuring they might be BOGO this week and I was totally right! Plus I LOVE the Green Giant Broccoli Steamers since I put broccoli in practically everything and the steamer packages are so easy to make. There were some great produce sales this week too. Here are some stock-up ideas:

Zucchini and Yellow Squash ($1.49/lb) – Shred and freeze it in 1 cup portions using the medium/large portion method. Cut it into slices or chunks and freeze using the flash freeze method.

Red, Yellow, and Orange Bell Peppers ($2.49/lb) – Slice or cut into chunks and freeze using the flash freeze method.

Strawberries (16oz pkg 3/$5 or $1.67 each!!) and Peaches ($1.99/lb) – Cut up or slice and freeze using the flash freeze method.

Grapes ($1.69/lb) – Rinse and let dry. Throw them all into a freezer bag and freeze.

Italian Days – Your best bets for taking advantage of the Italian Days sale this week are the 14.5 oz cans of tomatoes, tomato paste, and Green Giant Steamers
