Using bungee cords....My DH would tell me to take some food out of the freezer and use it and only put in back in what easily goes into the freezer. It looks neater and others opening the freezer can easily find something in there then too.

I have a chest freezer, and I use small cardboard boxes to sort things. This makes it so much easier to find and remove what I need. One box may have all frozen juice concentrates, another with packages of veggies, still another with sausage, hamburger, bacon. Just pull the box out and get what you need and set the box back in place.

Harlean,

I do the same thing! At the grocery store the produce guys have empty tomato boxes sometimes. These boxes are sturdy and have handle openings on the ends. WONDERFUL for using in the freezer. I can stack 3 boxes high and about 5 boxes wide in my LARGE freezer. I like to freeze one kind of item per box, too. In the summer I will freeze our own raspberries and strawberries and put them in ziploc sandwich bags and stack them side by side in the box, not to be moved until I need them for supper someday.
