#COLOR FOOD CONTAINERS MEAL PLAN SHEET PDF#

We looked into getting some toy shelves that help organize all the toys. We don’t need to buy toys because we are given so many, and now they are everywhere! But I wouldn’t want to throw out something that was a gift, so we’re kind of in a pickle here. One of the biggest clutter issues in our house are all they toys. It’s all the stuff we’ve got! I’m constantly trying to pare us down to having less ‘stuff’, and even though we don’t own a ridiculous amount of things, sometimes it feels like we just have too much stuff. It’s not the people that make it feel small, though. Our place is tiny for a home with 6 people living in it. Next hurdle: actually going through and throwing out the old food! Got any tips on a system for remembering to do that? Taming Clutter with a Toy Storage System I hope this helps you (and me!) get a little more organized when it comes to freezer storage. Or you can right-click the images below and save them to your computer.

pdf files that you can access by clicking here for the one with the “Qty.” section or here for the file without a quantity section. Then, as you add or remove items, you can easily access the paper to write in or cross things off.

If you have a freezer that is in a covered area (ours is outside but sheltered from rain), you can slide the freezer inventory page into a sheet protector and stick it to the outside of the freezer with sticky tack. There is already a margin set on the page so you can also select the “fit to page” option when you go to print it. You can print them in color or, in your printer preferences, select the file to print in black and white. My freezer inventory is best printed on regular 8.5” x 11” paper. It would make meal planning much easier if I could simply glance at the freezer instead of having to find the pork chops to decide if I need more than I already have on hand. But then as I was adding pork chops to my list, I realized that sometimes I freeze a single chop and other times I have a whole package that needs to be stored. At first I left out the “quantity” section. The only difference is that one has a space to write in the quantity of each item in the freezer, and the other doesn’t. I made 2 different versions of these freezer inventory sheets. When I go to make my weekly meal plan, I can check the freezer inventory to see if I need to buy more chicken breasts, and if so how much. These printable freezer inventory sheets let me know what’s in there, as well as how much of it I’ve got. The next thing I did was create a system of organization for the outside of the freezer. These clear plastic containers are easily stackable, which means I’m less likely to have to hunt around in the freezer. No more clumpy plastic bags rolling around and sliding off of one another. For one, I got some of these cool freezer-safe storage containers.

I forgot that we had already eaten some of the things I thought should be in there.Ĭlearly, it was time to organize this madness.

Some of the stuff was labeled, but there was no date on the package so there’s no knowing if it is ok to eat.

I dug around for a looooong time trying to find anything edible.

I had no idea what was actually in that great, frozen cavern.

When I went out to th e freezer to pull out some of the meals I thought I’d frozen a while ago, I realized 3 problems:

But everything’s all jumbled together in a heap of icy randomness. There is a ton of food in there-everything from ham hocks to sandwich bread to casseroles to fruit for smoothies. Last weekend, as I was packing for a 3-day trip away from my family, I realized how seriously unorganized our freezer is. Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links.
