Markets for some toxic assets froze in 2007, and the problem grew much worse in the second half of 2008. Several factors contributed to the freezing of toxic asset markets.

Once-a-month Cooking
The concept of once-a-month cooking (OAMC) is to spend a set amount of time cooking with an end result of having enough meals to last through the whole month. OAMC recipes usually involve freezing the meals until needed (termed freezer cooking).

Preparation time for each meal is then cut down to reheating time only.Allen, JodyOnce A Month Cooking 2014, Penguin This method also allows the home cook to save money by purchasing food items in bulk and taking advantage of sales at the market.
