Pulses = peas, beans and lentils. Good for protein when combined with cereals.

I forgot what my Dad did. He had a biggish freezer in the utility room, and kept in it a collection of different frozen veggies in old icecream boxes (the two litre sort). (After trying out the shop version, he would buy fresh carrots, blanch and freeze them, as he did not like the bought frozen ones.) It meant he could have a good selection of veggies with his main meal without having fresh ones go off.

I am doing the same, with the same freezer, and bags, not boxes.
