You can wash, deseed, cut up and freeze. I keep frozen lemon wedges in my freezer at all times because I like to put the frozen wedges in drinks. I don't separate them to freeze, I just put them into a freezer proof container and freeze. They are easy to take apart.
If you need any lemon for cooking/baking, leave out at room temperature, it will thaw very quickly. You can freeze the lemons whole. You can also do this with other citrus fruit.

Freezer Friendly: Rice
White or Brown, Rice will come out just as fluffy and delicious as it was before you froze it.
Just place cooked rice in baggies, level them out, and stack in your freezer.
There's no need to thaw the rice if you are using it in soups it will thaw within seconds once it hits the hot soup.

Freezer Friendly: Bread
Two options to save money on bread.
- We usually pay no more than $1 for a loaf of bread. So when we go out to get bread we buy several and freeze them. They thaw quickly (within an hour or two if left out on the counter) and come out fluffy and delicious, more moist than when they were bought.
- Another option is to make your own bread. Usually this requires a bread maker but a bread pan should work just as well. Breadmakers can sometimes be found for as little as $5-10 at thrift stores like GoodWill. They were a fad back in the early 2000's and people have donated them to charities because of the counter space they tend to take up, which could be a steal for you. However, beware of some of the used ones, they may not include the user manual or not work at all. Homemade breads have a harder crust than store bought breads but house a moist, luscious center. So good you may not want to stop eating.
Recipes for homemade breads:
- The Best recipe I have seen so far.
- Wheat Bread
- Making bread without a machine.
