Seasonal fruit and veg.....
I got a load of cheap mushrooms a few weeks ago and made a massive batch of a 'mushroom base' that I can use in risotto, soups, stews etc.
I just fried with garlic and reduced with lots of white wine, then portioned it and stuck in the freezer.
Its something I have always done, even in good times.
You can do it with anything that is cheap only at certain times of year.
Edit: Do not season (no salt and pepper)!
