Freezer Inventory
Today I decided to attempt to tackle one of our deepfreezers. We have two, one we put all the prepared meals in, and the other is the dumping grounds.
I don't know about you, but going into my freezer is often a surprise, and a surprise that I actually have the items. Or worse, none of the items. A downfall of being a stockpiler is the assumption you always have items on hand. Today I discovered I was out of bread.
I threw everything out of the deepfreezer onto the floor. I brought over milk crates to help sort the items.
I often grab veggies, fruit and ground beef from my deepfreezer. After I sorted the items, I grabbed large reusable bags and sorted on these 3 categories. Then I put the randoms on top. As you can see, I have lots of treats. My daughter has a party this weekend, and icecream for the kids. I found a package of candycane bark from Costco that I had forgotten about that was a great surprise!
After taking inventory, I am now aware what I have in the house for food. There was more fruit then I realized which will help cut down on the upcoming weeks' food budget.
Now, get organizing the freezer and happy saving. Who else is cheap?
