21 Days To A Clean Organized Home: Day 9- Organizing the Freezer (Part 2)

Yesterday I shared with you my organized freezer in the kitchen. But I also wanted to show you my deep freezer in the garage. So that's what I am going to talk about today.


I am so blessed to have extra freezer space. It really helps me save money by stocking up on meats when on sale.

To be honest, my freezer was pretty disorganized. I basically would just throw stuff in. When I needed something I would just dig around. There were a few times when I would go to grab some chicken for dinner only to find after 10 minutes that I didn't have any chicken, but I did have a nice frozen hand!! 


To organize this space, I used the same baskets from the Dollar Store, but this time I did a different design for my labels.

I made labels for turkey, chicken, beef, fish, vegetables, and potatoes. And now my freezer looks like this...

My freezer came with one sliding wire basket. I am using that to store ice cream and cinnamon rolls--or as I call it, the 'Sweet Treats' basket. Here's a view underneath the Sweet Treats...

I already like my new organized deep freezer because I found a whole organic chicken that I had been looking for!! Ha...I guess it pays to clean! :)

To wrap up the freezer organizing project, I thought I would share a few great tips: 

Need a list to help you know what you can and can not freeze?

The National Center for Home Food Preservation

has information on freezing just about everything.

And if you would like a list to keep inventory of what's in your freezer...

You can print this list from Mom's Budget. 

 Real Simple has a some great information to share too....

like 27 tips for wrapping, storing and thawing all the foods you freeze.

I hope all this information will help you get the organized freezer you have always dreamed of (or just plain, needed!). :)
