Hello In There!
Hello and good morning welcome to Its A Mom Life, it's Sunday fun day! What better day to talk about organizing and what better thing to start organizing before spring then the freezer! 😨
Do you know what is in the back,or the very bottom of that ice box? How often do you get into it? Do you make it to the bottom, or the back? It can be a scary thing in that dark space!
There is a lot of time I have no clue what, or how much I have in there. It can get frustrating when it comes to the months that I am trying to stretch my groceries. The months like this is when on love my freezer inventory, however you must keep up on it, which can be hard when you are in and out of it daily.
With that it can be nice to have it organized to be able to see everything and/or have it categorized so you can find stuff easier! With that said for this organizing blog I would like to share some easy inexpensive ways to keep it a little more organized! The bins used are all from the dollar tree!
So if your ready grab a sweater and some gloves and let's dive into the freezer!
I have a stand up freezer and a little apartment size. I will show you how I organize the bigger one... the standing freezer! I will show this one and organizing, as my little one is organized by categories, so it has bags of peeled sliced apples, and peaches from the summer. Some extra baking snacks for the kid's and just a couple baged veggies from the garden that can't be flattened as well!
So back to the big one. On each shelf I try to have the same category items to a degree, as other stuff will get where it fits but can be recognized by the outside packaging. You will see what I mean.
The top shelf I have for some meat the bigger meats, and any other meats that are not steaks and ground beef. They have bins they go in. This is pork, chicken, but there is also wild meat but in one spot, as we try to not use it on daily bases and our roasts as they take more space. I also put some larger pans of freezer meals here.
The second shelf I have bagged veggies from the summer in bins. This way bags don't get pushed to the back and covered in snow build up.
Then we go to the third shelf this has the small bags of fruit in one side in a bin, and larger bags of fruit on the side. This also has some bags of pre made foods here also.
The last wire shelf has a bins, this is one for ground beef and one for steaks, this also is set up where the steak cuts are in the same row in the bin, so grabbing them can be easier and I don't have to look at each package. As they are in "piles".
Then the bottom, there can be a lot of room here but, having the stuff stay and not fall on your toes when you open the door is the problem.
With this I have some cabbage rolls in the back, they fit nice and can stacked up. Then in front in have a simple lid organizer from the dollar store. This holds flattened bags perfect they can be in a row but not fall. This I have pumkin and shredded carrots.
There is some containers of premade cookie dough from a fundraiser. I usually have cookie dough logs I pre make, and fit nicely in the door instead! Then the door I typically put the waffles, and pancakes, dessert breads, and i have some large bags of blueberries and Saskatoon! 😁
So that is my stand up freezer, I look forward to organizing it more, with the upcoming blog challange hit that follow button to make sure to catch it, and join in! Till next Sunday, try thinking of how to make your freezer more handy. Let me know how you organize your freezer? A little can go a long way!

Top shelf is meats!
The vegetable bins
The third is fruit and vegetables with extra big bags and some premade food!
The last shelf has ground beef in one bin and steak cuts in the other!
Also on the bottom the rows sitting up and down are in a lid holder, with a nice stack of shredded zucchini on the side.
The door holds waffles, and dessert breads with some large bags of berries. This is where the cookie log dough would be but I'm out!
This is just a glance in my small one has it's just extra large bags of fruit ON the bottom, and some used bags and a little extra large veggies like tomatoes and some extra baking on the top!
