Even people with great organizational skills have to deal with the nightmare that is an over-stuffed freezer every once in a while. Freeing up space in your freezer can feel like a mission impossible, but these three useful tricks will get you there.
Flat Freezing
Freezing things flat is one of the best ways to save up space in your freezer. Instead of leaving things in their original packaging that takes up too much space, move them to heavy-duty bags and freeze them flat. In addition to saving up space, this technique makes everything in the freezer easily accessible.
Avoid Bulk Buying
Buying in bulk may seem like a cheaper option, but if you end up throwing out the food because it went bad, what’s the point? Smaller packages will save you space, but freezing serving sizes is also an option if you insist on buying in bulk.
Ditch the Boxes
Cardboard boxes will take up more unnecessary space in your freezer than anything else, especially because they’ll be half-empty after some time. You should ditch them altogether and place the foods they contain in freezer-safe bags instead.
