We open up the fridge all day looking for snacks or ingredients to make a meal.
But the freezer gets opened maybe…. a couple times in a week? Unless it’s summer, then that’s a whole different story.
And since it’s not used as much, the freezer ends up becoming a black hole of stuff that doesn’t get used. Also, a lot of messes are just allowed to harden and get cleaned up 3 months later (who am I kidding, not even then).
And that’s why I decided to create a small but helpful list on freezer organization hacks and tips.
They’re great ways you can keep your freezer clean and hassle free as well as organized.
So feel free to check out these awesome Freezer tips done by great bloggers and let me know what you think!
1. Fridge Shelf Liners
Yes, they’re fridge sheets, but they work just as well on freezer shelves.
These will definitely save you from a headache when you find that a spilled mystery sauce has frozen onto the freezer liner, not the freezer shelf.

Well now they actually have a use! You can use them to store different food categories like meats and frozen produce.
It’s really great for grouping items and making them easier to grab while also doing freezer inventory.

Yes, I know this post is only six tips long, but to be honest, I get kind of overwhelmed when reading a post with 50 or even 20 hacks. So that’s why I like to keep it short and simple most times.
Now if you have any freezer hacks yourself, let em know in the comments down below! I’d love to hear about them!
Chasing Foxes was started in 2016 as a way for Grace and her husband, Silas, to start traveling. However, they started to realize that they had a passion for improving themselves, and wanted to help others level up their lives as well. So whether it's with cooking, travel, or staying healthy, they want to help you better your life bit by bit, as they do the same.
Great tips. I had a little trouble looking into the links of where to get the supples after each of the hacks. They just didn’t work. Otherwise great ideas.
Good to know Debbie. 🙂
