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. The freezer ends up getting over stuffed because a lot of things don’t get used, and many messes are just allowed to harden and be cleaned up 3 months later (who am I kidding, not even then).
And that’s why I decided to to a post on freezer hacks. Awesome ways to keep your freezer clean and hassle free as well as organized. So feel free to check out these awesome tips and tricks done by great bloggers and let me know what you think!

Fridge Shelf Liners

Yes, they’re fridge liners, 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 liner, not the shelf.

Now if you REALLY want to be organized, try vacuum-sealing everything to keep it fresh and organized. It definitely takes up way less space.
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.
