My Nana’s Secret to Keeping a Deep Freezer Perfectly Organized How to Organize Your Deep Chest Freezer

What you will want to do is sort your food.

Personally, I sort them by chicken, other meats, potatoes, snacks, bread, and breakfast.

I suggest sorting whichever way makes sense to you.

Sorting your food will also help you determine how many bags you may need.

If you have wine bottle bags, go ahead and cut out the dividers.

You can also use regular reusable bags but make sure they are washable.

Next, fit your sorted foods into the bags.

Then label the bags.

You will want to label the outside of the bag on either side and most importantly, on the bag handles.

This will help make finding what you need so much easier.

Oh, and, I no longer need any of those organizing baskets.

Getting rid of the basket actually freed up my freezer space even more.

I no longer had to wrestle with it when placing something weirdly shaped like a whole turkey.

Below are pictures of my deep chest freezer with two layers of bags.

And I still have room for more.

Make sure to lay the bag handles on top of the bags instead of letting them fall to the sides.

Whenever I put the bags in they do this automatically.

This will make finding the handles easier.

And because I label the handles I avoid pulling out a bag I don’t need.
