00:00We're stretching our food in 2026. Here are four things I always freeze to save money.
00:04If you've got leftover tomato paste in the can after a recipe, don't throw it out.
00:08Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto wax paper, freeze until solid,
00:12then store in the freezer in an airtight container.
00:14This is one of my favorite hacks. I've been doing this one for years.
00:17Wrap leftover ginger root tightly and foiled and store in an airtight container in the freezer.
00:21When you need it, unwrap and grate or slice from frozen.
00:24The peel is actually safe to consume and it won't affect the flavor of your recipes.
00:28And when you're done, just wrap it right back up.
00:31When you need nuts for recipes, it can get costly and it's always a better deal to get them in
00:36bulk.
00:36The good news is you can extend their shelf life.
00:39Nuts stored in the freezer will last up to a year.
00:42Have an awkward amount left over in a bottle of wine?
00:44I know, leftover wine? What's that?
00:46Well, regardless, you can freeze leftovers in ice cube trays.
00:49Freeze until solid, then store in an airtight container.
00:52Now I can use these wine ice cubes to add extra flavor to sauces and stews.
