Organizing a Chest Freezer

I try to group stuff together in milk crates. You end up fitting less in the freezer but you lose less stuff at the bottom. I also try to keep an updated google sheets list of everything in it and update on my phone when I add/remove.

I have one of each and an upright freezer is the way to go. Sams has them for $229. Not huge, but not expensive either.

The easiest way to organize a chest freezer is to buy an upright.

Dividers

Stackable baskets

I just organized mine by using the items in the links above. Use the dividers at the bottom to seperate out different types of meat, stacking them as high as I need. Then will use the baskets to hold other things. Seems to work well so far

Over seen dividers made out of 1x12s.

They nailed a bunch of them standing on end as dividers and nailed one across the top to keep them together.

Then they flipped it over so the flat part ended up on the bottom with the partitions facing up.

Had meat, fish,sausage, family shite like waffles and popsicles.

Milk crates

I found some fairly heavy shoeboxes at Bed Bath and Beyond once. They were clear with lids, so they stacked really well and I could write what was in them on the lid and then just look down to see what was in them. They were nice because they weren't really large, so I didn't end up taking up the space with half full boxes.

New stuff went into the freezer laying flat on top of one of the lids to freeze so they didn't spoil while freezing in a closed box, then once frozen good and solid, they went into one of the lidded boxes for long-term storage.

Then I got an upright freezer. I still use the shoeboxes to keep everything organized, though. I just label the front of them now.

Had this same issue, my solution was buying an upright freezer
