Freezing ButtermilkI read several entries here on ThriftyFun for freezing regular milk. I didn't see a mention of buttermilk, so here is my account. I hope you can put it to use.
Yes Virginia, You Can Freeze MilkA few years back, I house shared with a gal who froze milk. She would bring it in, uncap it and take a little out to allow for expansion. Then, recap and in the freezer it would go. I had never seen it and was dubious at best. It was a funky color and well, I doubted it would taste the same. I was young and foolish!
Freezing Cheese DipI decided to try freezing Rotel tomato Velveta cheese dip. It freezes well.

Buy and Freeze Discount EggnogBuy eggnog that been marked down after the holidays and freeze it for later. It doesn't affect the flavor or texture.
Freezing Cottage CheeseI buy cottage cheese on sale and stock up when it is marked down. I use it for baking. I simply put the package in the deep freeze and thaw it in the fridge when I need it. After thawing, drain the watery liquid and stir in some sour cream, so it isn't dry.

Freezing EggsUntil a good friend shared this tip with me, I did not know that fresh eggs can be whisked together and frozen for up to six months. I have been doing this for over a year now.
Freeze Grated CheeseMy granddaughter bought a big round of cheddar cheese. It was too much to use at once. so I grated it today to put in the freezer. I sprayed a small amount of cooking spray on the grater for easier clean up.
Freeze Whipping Cream In Ice Cube TraysWhen I buy whipping cream, I buy it on sale. Then I pour it into ice cube trays and freeze. Once frozen I put the cubes in ziplock bags in the freezer. A cube is about 2 Tablespoons. It's great when you only need a couple tablespoons in a recipe.
Buying Chunk CheeseWhenever I find chunk cheese on sale, I take advantage of it. After I get home, I grate it.
