Deep Freezer Storage - Sunday 1st March 2015

Chest freezers are great for storage but hard to keep organised. I purchased a number of green shopping bags. I purchased mine from Coles in different colours for $1 each. Each bag is loaded with different foods. For example one bag beans frozen from the garden. Meat in another. Chicken in another and so on. This makes getting to what I want easier as I just lift each bag out using the handles. Colour coded bags can make it easier to identify each product. Also easier for cleaning as the freezer does not have to be empty, just take out the bags, cover with an old blanket to stop food defrosting and wipe out.

Editor's note: This is how I organise my chest freezer. I use red bags for red meat, yellow bags for chicken, green bags for vegetables, orange bags for fruit and blue bags for baked goods. The bags are labelled too, to make identifying the contents easy for anyone who doesn't know my colour code.  You can read more about how I use bags to organize the freezer here: Organize Your Freezer with these Freezer Labels.  Cath.
