My freezer always seems to be a jumbled mess, and I often forget what's buried at the bottom. What are some tips and tricks for organizing a freezer to make the most of the available space and keep track of what's inside?❄️🍗

Label and date everything you put in, and use clear containers or bags to store items like soups or sauces. Stackable bins can help utilize vertical space, and consider using dividers or baskets to keep similar items together. Regularly declutter by rotating older items to the front to avoid waste.

To effectively organize your freezer and maximize space while minimizing food waste, try these tips:

1. Label Everything 📅: Use labels with dates to keep track of what needs to be used first. No more mystery meals!
2. Use Bins and Baskets 🗃️: Group similar items together (veggies, meats, snacks) for easy access and better organization.
3. Freeze Flat 🥶: Store soups, sauces, and even meats in ziplock bags laid flat. Once frozen, they can be stacked or stood up like books to save space.
4. First In, First Out (FIFO) 🔄: Rotate older items to the front so they get used first, reducing the chance of waste.
5. Keep an Inventory 📋: Stick a list on the freezer door with what’s inside. Update it as you add or remove items to stay on top of your stock.

Happy freezing
