I buy those foil containers with paper lids in bulk and freeze entire meals for when I'm away so D G can just grab and microwave.

Deedub, DH froze cans of beer recently. Fortunately not stubbies, they make a huge mess when they explode!

I bought some on special with a week or more to go recently and stuck them in the freezer courton. Yours should have a use by date on it.

I'm going to use mine in soup courton - I never eat it as is but I googled the question and they say to wrap it in amounts you would use and it freezes successfully with no noticeable difference.

Yep, I can confirm that.  Whenever it's on special offer I buy several packs and freeze those I won't be using straight away.  Never a problem.

I bought a big packet from Costco (excellent quality) but we are struggling to finish it. Great to know this.

Maybe I will just make cheese sauce and freeze into small portions, then mum can just cook pasta and add a small tin if tuna.
Going to make her lasagna too. Will freeze some cheese sauce and lasagna for DS too.

Thanks for your help fundj xxxxxx
