Probably the biggest money saver the past few years has been meal prep. I personally love cooking and would find myself running to the grocery store or local Cafe for a pre-made meal or snack. It really added up. We switched to buying in bulk when we can and preparing our work meals at home. Even if that means making a double batch of dinner and freezing the leftovers (which we did with a slow cooker meal too).

    Only fresh things bought were the tofu and bok choy. Rest was dried (mushrooms) and corn (frozen) and broth (Better than Bouillon).

    Not my recipe. Was inspired by https://www.connoisseurusveg.com/hot-and-sour-soup-with-bok-choy/#recipe and added the corn. Used Sriracha instead of chili sauce. Tofu was air fried instead of pan fried. I made a double batch of this recipe which made 10 large servings.

    These will keep in the freezer and will get used in the next few work weeks. What i usually do is make another soup/stew and alternate between the two to keep from getting bored.

    The containers are Lock n Lock. Was gifted these over the past few Christmases from parents. I take it to work frozen in an insulated lunch box and microwave at work.

    Label is painter tape written in Sharpie. When having multiple items prepped the label really comes in handy.
