This question came about when Caitlin and I were presented with a glorious burden-- Owen's mom brought us a ton of amazing food at 10:50 last night...(she is leaving for Turkey) and we're leaving for a week in Atlanta tonight. Oy. Look at the bounty!
Most problematic for me was the entire box of cupcakes from CakeLove that you see pictured with Caitlin (in the headdress from the Asian festival).
Ultimately we packed gigantic meals (lunch and dinner) with as many perishables as possible and brought the rest of the things to work. Cheapion Justin also suggested to us that if we wanted to freeze things, we should leave them in the fridge overnight first. He even had science to back this up: since freezers are very slow, which makes the ice crystals larger (which destroys food), it's better to lower the temperature as much as possible before freezing to speed up the process and cut down on crystal size.
Finally, in response to Foard's question on the previous post- no, we do not snack. It's not a snacking household. This is less about being cheap and more about having no will power.
caitlin update: for lunch today i will eat a tomato and a mango.
