Thawing the food taste okay still as long as you don’t re-freeze and thaw it again.

What we do is separate the meat into smaller ziplock bags before freezing so it’s easier to take out and cook without thawing all of it. It may take a little bit of practice to figure how much meat you eat in one meal but it helps over the long run.

Second this! I will usually buy a pack of 8 or so bone-in chicken thighs from Giants for about $9-$11 and individually freeze each chicken thigh in sandwich bags. It can be a bit time consuming but it has saved me a ton of money and allows me to reduce food waste.
