Saving in Bulk~ Freezing Peppers

I do most of my grocery shopping at a wholesale store, Bj’s to be exact.

People say all the time that it is a waste to buy groceries there, unless you run a restaurant or

have a huge family. I must disagree. The produce I find there is sometimes much better quality, and it is almost always much cheaper. These little peppers cost me $4.00 for a huge bag. I have been using them for almost 2 weeks now, so I had this many left that were going to go bad before I was able to use them. However, the solution is very simple, and it will save time and money later.

I have already used these peppers several times. Stuffing them, soup, and pasta tonight, so honestly they have already paid for themselves.

I have decided to freeze the leftovers.

~I thoroughly washed them.

~Cut the tops out and removed the seeds.

~Then I decided to freeze one bag in halves, and slice the rest.

~I added a paper towel to each bag to absorb the extra moisture and prevent freezer burn.

These slices will be perfect for pasta, soup, or stir fry, as well as homemade pizzas,

and just about anything else you want to add them to.

Now they are ready to go when you are ready to cook.

There is no waste and we saved so much purchasing them in bulk.
