    I bulk prepare and freeze a lot of dishes where making N portions takes way less than N times the effort. Such as bolognese sauce, chickpeas, beans, kibbeh, meatballs, spring rolls, etc.

    FuglyDuck mentioned stock; note that you can freeze the finished stock in ice cubes too. It’s a really practical way to add a bit of flavour to rice, some sauce, etc.

    My cats are picky eaters, they like wet food but not straight from the can, they want it blended half-and-half with water. However a full can is too much for them, so guess what - ice cubes, here I go. Just be careful to not thaw it thinking that it’s tomato paste (I did this once).

    Empty ice cream pots, specially those 2L ones, are a great way to store those cubes.
