However, I am getting sick of having to dig through everything to find what I am looking for. I have decided to try and use plastic milk creates to organize things a little.
I picked up four different colors thinking that the colors could aid in the organization. I am a little worried that over time, the plastic will crack from the cold, but we will see how long it lasts. My freezer already had three baskets, so this gave me a total of seven different categories I could divide my freezer into. Here are my categories:
- Beef
- Chicken
- Other Meat (Pork, Sausage, Hot Dogs, etc.)
- Bread & Pizza
- Potatoes
- Other Frozen Food (Cheese, Veggies, Fruit, etc.)
- Ice Packs
I was only able to actually fit 3 of the 4 crates in the freezer. That is okay because now I have one that I can use to transport things from the freezer to the refrigerator on Sunday's when I do my weekly meal prep. There was space between the crates at the bottom of the freezer where I placed my frozen bread and pizzas instead of putting them in a crate.
The color coding did help. On my list on the refrigerator, I put the color of the crate and what is it in. Therefore, when my husband needs to find something in the freezer, he will know what crate to look in.
Very informative blog... Thanks for sharing, Hope this helps many!
