I love my Foodsaver. It allows me to buy in bulk when items are cheap and seal them up into the portion sizes I choose. The new ones are even made to stand up and work, so they take up less space on the counter. I buy the rolls of make your own size bags. I find them more economical than the precut bags.
I just found a cookbook at the library called Don't Panic More Dinner's in the Freezer, it's pretty neat. I assume there is a first one too!
I agree with everyone so far, cook a roast and portion it out or cook an extra chicken. You can also precook hamburger and freze in portions you'll use later.
I've been known to cook an over full of potatos and make twice baked potatos and freeze them for later. Also a kitchen full of french bread pizzas, then freeze for later use.
