Freezers can quickly become the biggest source of chaos in a kitchen, if not carefully organized.
Ive fallen prey to this more than once.
But the problem is, its almost impossible to find what you need if this is your approach.
Plus, so many organization hacks cost an arm and a leg.
So, were solving the problem.
Today, Ive rounded up seventeen affordable freezer organizing ideas.
I hope you find some inspiration to keep that chaotic freezer clean and organized!
Chest freezers can get crowded, and important ingredients can end up at the bottom of the pile.
You dont want to lose those!
Thankfully, all you have to do is pick up some wire baskets.
I lovethese wire basketsfor this hack, because theyre affordable, but still look great.
Its so easy to organize all your different meals by stacking your shelves with some clear bins.
The clear bins make it easy to see whats inside each one, even without the label.
That said, I love including labels because it makes it easier to keep the bins organized over time.
While the bags work alright, I love having them in an easily-accessible container, ready to go.
Struggling with a million bags cluttering limited fridge space?
Stack some easy-access containers with built-in scoops to make it easier on yourself!
This saves so much time and frustration while cooking.
Pick any containers you like, and store theseclear plastic scoopsinside to make grabbing things easier.
I like using reusable freezer bags to seal my food, then stacking them side by side.
It saves on so much space.
Plus, you’re free to pull your ingredients out like books as you need them.
No fussy stacks to deal with!
Instead of crowding plastic bags or separate ingredients into your freezer, try using foil pans!
All you have to do is prepare your meal and transfer it to your foil pan containers.
Label them on the sides for easy access, and store safely.
This makes your meals so easy to find.
Not to mention, it saves all that space!
you’re free to pick up bulk portions offoil pan containers like theseto use.
The more similar in size they are, the easier they are to stack.
Shoe Box Containers

Dont be limited by whats supposed to be used for food storage.
Sometimes, the best solution is hiding somewhere you wouldnt expect it!
Case in point: these shoe box containers are great for freezer storage.
Theyre big bins with plenty of space, and they come with lids to make them stackable.
The plastic is clear enough to see through, but opaque enough to help your fridge feel more organized.
Thats why I love this idea so much.
Clean, clear, and crisp.
Sometimes that means hunting for deals when youre out shopping!
Buying meat in bulk can be tough when you have limited space.
But dont worry, this simple idea will give you all the meat storage space you need.
Try buying individual short containers to stack different cuts of meat.
Or, you could use reusable bags with bulldog clips like these on top for chest freezers.
ensure everything is labeled clearly!

Struggling with a thin freezer that feels impossible to store things in?
Dont worry, Ive got an idea for you.
This vertical storage hack uses tall plastic bins to organize the space with ease.
This gives those things a space without letting them roam free and ruin your system.
I likethis kind of binfor that purpose.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
They also help prevent freezer crystals on my meat and vegetables (I hate freezer crystals).

Not excited about buying bins just to use in your freezer?
I totally understand wanting to invest in versatile tools and organization systems for your home.
Multi-purpose bins are the perfect way to try out an organization system in your freezer.
Just a tip though, I find usingbin clips like thesehelp these bins work in freezers so much better.
Well, no more.
I hate that feeling too, so I found this idea!
These handle baskets areperfectfor the bottom level of a small freezer.
Theyre easy to pull out and wont get your hands cold.
Plus, they look so clean and organized.
Labeled Tubs
Sometimes, the simplest solution is the best.
verify you pick up a high-quality label makerlike this oneto ensure theyll stay on in the cold.

Short on space and need to keep your ingredients fresh?
Nothing does it better than a vacuum seal.
Sealing your vegetables and meats away ensures theresnochance of them getting freezer burn.
Especially if you buy groceries in bulk!
Theyre easy to pop out when you better get past them.
No unorganized mess anymore!
you’re able to create a system with something as simple as Ziplock bags.
Its best if you might organize your ingredients in the bags using multi-purpose bins.
However, things will work out just fine if you stack them like books.
I like to opt forhigh-quality bags like theseto prevent them from ripping.
This idea uses acrylic dividers to make freezer organization as simple as possible.
I like to use these dividers to make the most of limited shelf space.
you might make use of all that vertical air without stacking things on top of each other.
Happy organizing, and see you next time!
