Freezer Inventory
I use my freezer extensively for food storage and cooking ahead. To keep track of what we have on hand, I need some sort of record to quick glance at instead of standing with the freezer door open. This system helps tremendously before running to the store – I can quick glance at it and add any necessary items to my shopping list (Need a custom and personalized shopping list? Check them out in my Clean Mama Printables Etsy shop – I love having all my sections ready for me – it definitely simplifies my list making and shopping experience.)
I found an old white board that my husband had in college, cleaned it up and bought a new set of dry erase markers. (Yes, this would be cuter with molding and paint, but it’s a garage.)
I divided the white board into sections of my freezer and took inventory of what’s in my freezer.
I hung the white board next to the freezer for a quick glance at what’s actually in the freezer.
An easy, simple tool to keep the freezer organized and to help with shopping. What’s your favorite freezer storage tip?

What a fab idea! I am always rooting around in my freezer for about 10 mins at a time trying to find something that isn’t even in there!
Randi Says
I do that as well – it makes it so easy to know what’s in there.

Great idea. I have no idea what’s in the bottom of my freezer.

That’s such a great idea! We always have double of everything because things seem to get lost in there.

This is probably going to become my next project. That and one for the refrigerator, which we run into the same problem with as well.
Genius! I love it.
