Freezing bulk meat

When there is a good sale on for family pack meat, I will get a few packages and then separate them in portions that are good for my family to use. I put the portions in freezer bags, label them with contents and date, then freeze.
This is what I did with the super extra lean hamburger that was on sale last week.
It doesn't show in the pictures, but before I seal the bag I try to remove as much air as possible. This keeps the meat more fresh. I do this with everything that I bag to freeze. Sometimes I even use a straw to suck the air out before sealing.

    I am imagining you sucking the air out with a straw! :) I did not know that was important- I'll have to do it next time.

    You would be proud that I did this with chicken just last week. I cubed it all up and my dad called right in the middle of it. I couldn't even talk to him because I was trying so hard not to freak out about handling raw chicken. But I did it!

    I have to admit I don't suck the air out on raw meat, I don't have the stomach for it. I am trying to imagine you handling raw chicken. I'm impressed!
