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.
