I get that! I shop with my own meals planned in my head in advance. After all, I'm German, born and raised in Germany to German parents so technically I wake up with my house already clean as I cleaned the night before and tonight's dinner has already been cooked
.......
I take one piece of meaty bone for each dog and put it in a ziplock bag and label and date it from when it was purchased on with a sharpie. Everything gets frozen the same day it was purchased. I generously pre cut the boneless pieces of meat/organs and handle those in the same manner. Nothing wrong with a little organization and sanitation!
So each baggie is one meal's worth for all dogs together, so reaching in there and grabbing an entire day's worth is easy.
You will figure out your own groove and discover valuable short cuts along the way!

I just can't, mentally, do it that way and keep my sanity. (I buy meat in bulk on sale for us....but always have planned in my head what I will do with it, for example.)
I want to be able to bag up, say a month's worth, at once, with each day labeled--and pre-planned...like having the bit of liver included already in the bag two days a week, instead of having to remember that I need to give liver two days a week. Because the fact is that I won't remember which days I gave liver and how much. I know logically that in the long run these things even out. But it would bug me to no end not to KNOW it......I know that sounds crazy to those of you who are very laid-back about stuff. |
