If you have a green thumb or have neighbors/ friends/ family with an abundant garden, learn how to freeze sweet corn so you can enjoy it in September and year-round.
Investment: Free if you get it from friends with an abundant crop, minimal cost if you grow it yourself, $3/dozen purchased from local farmers.
Instead of: Bags of frozen corn cost at least $1.39/lb. in stores. (A dozen ears of fresh sweet corn makes about 5 cups or 2.85lbs.)
Savings: $3.97 per dozen if you got it for free. If you bought it from a farmer's market, subtract the cost of the ears.
Bonus: Energy is saved by buying locally instead of buying frozen corn out-of-season that is likely trucked in from California, Florida, or Mexico, plus it tastes better and doesn't contain anything artificial!
