Throwing away meat that you bought instead of eating it sucks.

Air pockets in a package allow for condensation. Condensation in turn become ice crystals that "burn" the meat. The only way to prevent freezer burn is to vacuum pack your item. If you don't have a vacuum packer, try to remove as much air out of your package before you freeze it.

I was raised vegetarian, but married a meat and potato's guy. So I do eat meat, but when I'm alone I prefer not to. It's ok to eat, but i hate to cook it. Have never felt I'm good at it, and hate handling the raw. So it's easier just to not eat it. I eat a lot of beans, at least once a day. I eat eggs. I eat some cheese, I consider that more a treat. I love cottage cheese, especially in the summer time, it's cold and salty. I guess for protein I'm ok with beans and eggs, peanut butter ect. And I do eat meat occasionally, when I'm not alone, and eating out. When company comes I'll get hamburger for sloppy joes, or even steaks once in a while. When I cook chicken it's put it in a bag of flour, coat it, and in the oven for an hour, throw away the flour. I have also made good soup with that big family sized tray of chicken legs, I can just dump then in the water, then after a while add the soup things.

Putting meat in zip lock freezer bags are fine, but lay it down and push out all the air and then zip.I think the real cause of freezer burn, is leaving it in the freezer too long. There are lists of how long each type of meat/fish can be refrigerated or frozen.

The key is definitely to not leave it in the freezer too long. When I freeze my leftover meatloaf, I usually wrap it in a couple layers of aluminum foil, then put it into a ziploc bag, getting the air out of it. I've left it in there for at least a month, and it's still tasted great.

Make sure there is no air in the wrapper.
