Hear the word freezer and we think ice cubes, frozen peas and ice cream.  But it's time to give your freezer more serious work!  Let it do its part in saving you big bucks by avoiding the rotten food toss.

Some foods that freeze magnificently:

- Milk (Just stick the container in the freezer.  To thaw it qiuckly, either leave it out on the counter or put it in a bowl of hot water.)

- Eggs (crack them first, whisk them and freeze)

- Wine (not good for drinking again but excellent for cooking with)

- Tomatoes and other veggies (they'll be soft when you thaw them so won't be so good for a salad but excellent for a pasta sauce)

- Fruit ( also not so good for eating alone post thaw, but excellent for smoothies.  If freezing berries, try to separate them in freezer and THEN toss them together in a bag, else they'll clump together and you'll have to thaw the whole clump.)
