There is nothing wrong with buying in bulk, and cooking in bulk is a good way to save money and time: just put the rest in the freezer.

There is an area where I definitely differ.

I don't have the knowledge, skills, or training in pallet to accept self-prepared frozen meals. Those just sound inherently disgusting to me. I don't expect to find crispy anywhere within that and thinking of trying to save things in the freezer makes me think of freezerburn.
