Frugal tip:
Cheese
This past week I stocked up on cheese (208 oz!).  I suppose you could say this is one of the frugal things I do.  I like to get the block cheese (cheddar and mozarella), shred it with my kitchen aid mixer (with shredding attachment), and then freeze it.  I try to look for the cheese under $3/16 oz.  Then, I shred it and mix in 1/8 c of flour per 16 oz of shredded cheese to help it from clumping up.  I then place the cheese into 8 oz portions into sandwich bags and freeze flat. When I need cheese, I just pull a bag out and put it in the fridge to defrost.
