Also I separate bulk items into portion packs, each portion is separately bagged. By using the labeled bag last I always know content details of the separated bags.

In theory, this sounds nice - having extra space in the freezer. But the reality is that you are doubling the amount of waste that is being sent to landfills, which is completely irresponsible. In order to keep clutter out of my freezer: I take inventory weekly and use various recipe websites (like allrecipes.com) to run searches based on ingredients. I keep my freezer stock rotating on a regular basis.

It's a great idea to use ziplock bags, as the boxes some foods come in don't do so well in the freezer, plus you get much more space. Organization is the key! From another 'Aussie'.

Sounds great! Could you tell me a bit more about the snap freezer bags you referred to?

Hi. I think this is a great idea I don't tend to buy much freezer food but a very small amount I home cook & freeze so label the food as I freeze, but what I do is when I do my shopping I go through the checkout then as I pack the items I remove the unwanted packaging and leave it in the shop. After all I didn't ask for this and think the supermarkets are to blame for a lot of packaging just to sell their products helen x

Great idea, I use bread bags and such to reuse heavy plastic, but reusing the label form original package I forgot about. Mu husband always complains that when meat is frozen he doesn't know what it is! I have a side by side fridge/freezer so space is precious! Thank you for the reminder!
