can not live without a Freezer here, have a large chest Freezer for many years
So things like cheese, look at the sell by date and try to get to Makro 2 days before, 2kg = 50% discount, always cut it up bag and freeze = have cheese for a year [OK is a bit crumbly]
I do not use butter very often, do the same cut it to fit the butter dish put in bags and freeze last over 1 year
a few days ago Marko had Yellow tag mini Croissants 29 baht per bag, bought all 10 bags they had = in freezer
