I cook for 9 people almost daily. I make weekly trips (every Friday) to the grocery store (Albertson's), the Walmart Market and Sam's Club. I want to get the best quality food for the value of my money. I don't usually bother looking at the ads or clip coupons because I know where to get the best deals. I buy large portions. As you can see, sometimes I run out of room! I keep my green chile and all of my meats (ground beef, turkey, pork, roasts, steak, burgers, shrimp, fish etc.) in a chest freezer in the garage. I buy 2+ pounds on every trip, then I cut them down into smaller portions (approximately 1 lb) and repackage them in quart size Ziplock freezer bags. I spend too much money to have my food spoil.
