This is what I do sometimes. I really don't cook meat very much. I package ground beef into 1/2 pound or 2/3 pound packages.
I do get great frozen stuff that's been marked down a lot in the fresh meat department. Great deals.
I like frozen because I know I can't forget about it in the fridge. With leftovers, I put them in the freezer right away, even if the plan is to eat them the next day or night. Then if plans shift, I don't have fridge stuff. With defrosting frozen, I'm usually doing so for cooking for a lot of meals, like a crockj pot meal, instead of for one night, so if I make the stew one day later I'm fine.
