So the other day on Facebook I saw a status update from a friend that made me do a double take.  She said that she had made 18 meals for under $100 and in about an hour.

Guys, it was totally legit! I’ve had a few other friends do the same thing right before they have a baby to make meal times easy after the little one arrives. I decided to give it a try too.  I just followed the recipes and advice given in the link from that Facebook status. And now I’m passing it on to you.

Frozen Crock Pot Meals! by Freebies 2 Deals

I didn’t buy anything on sale but I still got 12 meals for about $120 bucks. And they were all assembled during the time it took Abbi to watch one episode of Diego.  I’d say that’s pretty good.

I did one thing differently than the Freebies 2 Deals post did though.  I split each recipe into 2 separate crock bags and zip locks. I knew that each recipe would be enough for two meals for our family. Instead of having left-overs forcing us to eat the same thing twice within a week I split them so we could spread them out a little.

Doesn’t that picture just bring peace to your soul?  Nothing better than seeing dinner taken care of for the next two weeks

Have you ever made multiple meals at once to save time/money?
