Clean Up in Frozen Foods

So back here I told you all about the meals I'd made for after Molly gets here. Which is great in theory but every time I went out to the deep freezer in the garage it made me cringe. I didn't even know what all was in there or where it would be. So I looked for different ideas on how to organize a freezer.

I liked this one but it wasn't practical for a deep freezer.


These freezer totes would work but they were super expensive.


I thought about using these file trays or stacking trays but wasn't sure if I could fit as many as I needed.


So this is what my mom I came up with.


I put all 45 of the meals in 3 laundry baskets. (chicken, beef, other)Then I put 5 meals into each grocery bag (2 chicken, 2 beef, 1 other). Next I labeled each bag with what was inside. The plan is to take one bag from the freezer in the garage and put it in the inside freezer each week.



I know there are 7 days in a week and I only put 5 meals in each bag but I wanted to keep convenience meals like fajitas(3), pizza (2), turkey, ham, sausage wraps, hamburgers, and hot dogs separate from home cooked meals.
