Freezer inventory & organization

 We have two freezers (both combos with fridges). I try to keep one freezer for: muffins, prepped meals, & muffin ingredients (applesauce, bananas, zucchinis) & the like. The other freezer is for meat & things like gyozas, samosas, spring rolls, etc. 

I went through one of the freezers & inventoried everything, separated a few random items that were in the wrong spot, & had to toss a few things that were freezer burned. Or, in the case of the oat milk bars, just so unappealing that I don't even want.

Here's what I had in the freezer:

• Bagels - 1.5 packages (tossed, as they were freezer burned)

• Bananas - 11

• ½ package of cranberries

• Ziplock of jalapenos

• 1 ½ bags of frozen fruit

• 1 bag of spinach

• ½ bag of corn

• 1 Costco sized bag of pepperoni

• 5 bags of muffins

• Unopened container of goat cheese

• ½ a bag of pizza rolls

• Butter

• A few small containers of wing sauce

• 5 containers (maybe 15 cups) of shredded zucchini

• 1 small container of enchilada sauce

• 1.5 cups of tomato sauce

• ½ a box of samosas

• 1 dinner sized container of bolognese sauce

• Large container of pumpkin puree

• 1 large & 2 small container of applesauce

• Dinner sized container of taco meat

• 2.5 containers of taquitos

• 3 oat milk ice cream bars (tossed)

• 4 Klondike bars

• ¾ full chicken patties (moved to the “meat” freezer)

• 6 chicken breasts (moved to the “meat” freezer)

• ½ bag of chicken nuggets

• ½ bag of baked chicken

• 6 single servings of beef stew

• 1 container of pot roast

• 1 dinner sized container of taco cauliflower rice

• 1 dinner sized container of balsamic chicken

• 1.5 lunch sizes of eggroll in a bowl

• 2 individual servings of chicken fiesta rice

• 3 servings of chicken & dumplings

• 1 package of chicken meatballs

• Small package of kebabs

• 2 cheeseburgers

I've now re-organized everything, & have the items grouped together:

• Prepped meals - all grouped & labeled, organized so I can quickly find what we have. There was a lot more in the freezer than expected, which is awesome
• Muffins & muffin ingredients. Likewise, all grouped together. I thought I was done with the pumpkin puree & cranberries, so will need to use these up soon.
• The rest of the items on the other size of the freezer, but with the harder to use items at the top, to serve as a reminder.

I still have to inventory the meat freezer, but the one I cleaned was the freezer inside the kitchen, & our primary go to. It feels really nice to have it all organized!

And, a picture of the progress (only captures about 1/2 of the items - couldn't get the rest into the picture).

What about you? Have you inventoried your freezer lately? Do you have any "use it up" items?
