Love love LOVE Butcher Box! There are two good intrerviews on YT with the man who started/runs it. VERY interesting... I've "gone carniovore" -- (down 30 pounds in 4 mos) so having a freezer full of delicious meat helps! (The only time it's "a problem" is when I forget to put a pound of ground beef in the fridge to defrost, or a pair of steaks or chicken breasts in the souc vide (I like them to cook overnight...)
And an idea I rely on: since I'm a widow lady, I periodically but 10-11 organize green peppers at Whole Wallet; puree the life out them and freeze them in "peanut butter cup" silicon molds. Pop 'em oput in the closeable container -- and I have "fresh" green pepper to use as a seasoning without the risk of a full green pepper going slimy in the veg drawer! I also do onions; I 'tart up' spaghetti sauce in the crock pot, cook it overnight, then portion it out into 1- and 2-C portion, prerssure seal and freeze. (I also freeze some in the peanut butter cup molds to use in omelets or with my ground beef.
Also, when I buy a Costco rotisserie chicken, I break up the carcase, 'tart' it up (those handy onion and green pepper 'lozenges!), cover it with Costco's chicken broth, cook IT overnight (and break all the bones after8 or so hours -- let the marrow out!) -- then freeze it in 1 and 2 C "Souper" silicon molds -- VERY strong, don't tear like the cheap ones (ask me how I know!). When it's chilly, or I want something quick -- chuck one in the microwave, add a bit of the green pepper, and some butter: YUMMY, and very warming!
I also bought an upright freezer to replace my chest freezer -- it was JAMMED PACKED with meat; Butcher Box was about a week from delivering another box o' goodies... and I HAD NO ROOM! (This was during covid lockdowns.) Thought, 'okay, buy a second chest freezer.' Not one to be had ANYwhere! Did my researtch and bought a great Frigidaire. (WISH I had known about the all-drawers kind. TEMPTING!)
I'm pushing 76 and since 1972 we've always had a chest freezer. Then with the onset of "senior citizen" years, I found out that having a chest freezer - NOT FROSTLESS - was not a good idea. Upon having to scrape and collect ice from the bottom of the freezer I had to balance on my stomach to reach the bottom - I'm SHORT - and almost fell in head first a few times. Time to get an upright frost free freezer! Now we have two full size uprights and the fridge freezer. Just got a 1/2 of beef last week, so I have a lot of organizing to do!
We have an upright freezer, much like your large freezer. I use “dish pans” the Rubbermaid pans that go in a sink…they are not labeled but so have one for marinated chicken, regular chicken, sausage, beef, and a “use now” bin. The door is for my bread and butter as well as ice packs. The top shelf is home grown veggies and the very bottom is for bulk ground beef and “spare chicken parts” for my broth. My drawer freezer under my fridge is for prepped veggies (I buy/grow onions and bell peppers, chop and freeze in 2 cup portions) and frozen fruit, as well as a few whole chickens that wouldn’t fit in the upright freezer.
I have an upright freezer that was my grandma's - it's at least 45 years old and still going strong!
My GE chest freezer is 41 yrs old & still going strong. They don't make stuff like they use too!
Wow, 45 years???????? and is it energy efficient?
@@ninarice5279 they realized if they made long lasting electronics then they won't have customers lol
@@ninarice5279 Tell me about it! We bought a chest freezer in 20 or 21. I just moved it yesterday to get something else out of that room and found RUSTY water dripping from underneath! Being a Sunday and now today Memorial Day, I'm stuck waiting til tomorrow to call to figure out what to do. It's still cold, still works, everything is frozen solid...but how long can it stay like this?? HUFF. I miss when appliances were beasts. Idgaf about being "energy efficient" either. I'd rather have it work and last for decades than save a bit of money. Having to replace it every x number of years negates those savings, imo.
My son said that’s a lot of freezer.i just bought two.i can’t keep running to the store every week.i will save more you showed me how thanks kimmi ❤
We have a family of four, with the fridge inside. Another fridge in the garage, along with three chest freezers (22cf, 7 cf and 5cf), and an upright freezer. I bought the 22cf at a repair shop for $100 (normally $1300! A Frigidaire commercial unit) and the man even showed me how to fix it if it fails in the future! We put the whole beef in the 22, poultry and fish in the 7, milk-cheese-ice cream in the 5, and freezer meals, pork, and vegetables in the upright.
The totes you used are such a good idea- I'll have to find some soon, the deals we get on pork, and the vegetables grow every year get a little messy in there!
I have a full size freezer in my kitchen and a vertical deep freezer in my garage.
I organize very similar to this. My kitchen freezer is where I store the meats and veggies I plan to use for the week plus any frozen left overs and quick meals for busy evenings.
PS, I typically cook for 8-20 people because we are family of 4 but OFTEN have extended family over as well as host things a lot.
So I always cook for 8 and if the other family doesn’t come, I immediately freeze the left overs in single serving increments so that I have food easy and quick to defrost on the fly on busy days rather than grabbing take out.
My wallet and waist are so much happier
We have the freezer compartment in our kitchen fridge and a stand up freezer purchased back in 1980! it is small, about 12 cu ft, but plenty for us. Our kitchen fridge is the Samsung 4-door flex bespoke with two freezer compartments on the bottom. One is a dedicated freezer, the other can be flexed from freezer to fridge depending on need. in my stand up garage freezer I use the muti purpose bins from Container Store. They fit perfectly in the space, and each bin is designated for different types of food.
I'm a container freak how did I never think of this?!! Thank you!! I only have two top freezers. In my last house I had a huge stand alone freezer and I really miss it and have had to make it all fit into my two top refrigerator freezers. Your tips will really help. Can't wait to get started!
We have a small chest freezer and honestly it’s plenty for us. We are a family of 4 living at home and 2 grown and flown. Anymore and I get completely overwhelmed.
I am really glad that I’m not the only one that wants to wear gloves when touching things in the freezer. I have started to absolutely avoid the freezer because I hate the feeling of my hands being cold. Sometimes it actually radiates a pain into my whole body, it’s weird. I have been wanting to get another freezer for a long time now and couldn’t decide if I wanted to get a freezer fridge combo, the Costco freezer, or even invest in one of those big hefty fridge size freezers. Right now I have a deep freezer so having to dig to the bottom for things gloves are definitely a must.
Oh yes, we have two chest freezers and a full upright freezer. It's a must in order to buy a 1/2 cow and raise our own chickens. We love our freezers too!
We have our fridge freezer and a chest freezer. Chest freezer gets all the meats and the basket in there we use for butter. The fridge freezer is all vegetables. We also have a paper inventory attached by magnet to the chest freezer. Chest freezers can get messy real quick so we have to have that inventory posted and keep up with it.
This was a fantastic video ! I use the cardboard boxes that yogurt is sold by the case at Sam’s .I ducked tape the ends where the handles are to keep them strong . I stack them where I can and it’s very nice ! I will be buying the larger plastic bins for the top of my freezer like you did 👍 Thank you !
We only have the freezer above the refrigerator. I got tired of the freezer being so disorganized that about a year and a half ago I bought baskets. I did 1 basket for chicken, 1 for pork and 1 for beef. My extras like frozen veggies frozen microwave food go in the empty space next to the one basket. I also use my food saver to vacuum seal all my frozen foods, you save so much $$ by doing so.
I organize my in house bottom freezer as my "weekly meal plan freezer." Hubby has to park his car so close to the garage freezer that we can not get the door open if he is home. So I think ahead and pull out everything I will need for the week of cooking and put it in the kitchen freezer along with a few extra frozen veggies to give me some dinner sides options. We also have a small freezer on top of the "beer & water fridge" that is in the garage and I keep extra baking supplies (flour, butter ect) in there.
I have a chest freezer and really like using reusable grocery bags for it. Then when I pull in and out it’s so much easier.
I've stopped using plastic bags for freezing meat, chicken breast and minced meat and all kinds of veggies, as it always gave me heartache to throw so many plastic bags in trash bin and contributing to enviormental pollution. I've bought slim freeze containers and keep my meats by naming and tagging the containers and everyone can easily access them.
After my freezer plug was accidentally knocked out i refroze everything rock solid and put it in the trash with layers of cat litter in between the night before trash day. Then the real work began. Took me 3 days to clean and deodorize that freezer. After that, nothing perishable went into the freezer unless it was inside a sealed rubbermaid box. That way if there was another disaster, no stinking mess to clean up.
We have an upright freezer in the garage with bins labeled for beef, chicken, seafood, sausage/bacon, etc. All frozen veggies are on the top shelf, butter and nuts are in the door. I have had both a chest freezer and an upright and if I could only have one I would pick the upright every time. Thanks for the video Kimmy and congrats on your new home!
Same here with label bins, makes it soooooo easy to find what I want.
I have 3 upright freezers, 2 chest freezers, and 3 refrigerator freezers. All but 2 of the uprights needs some serious reorganization.
Please, firmly insert tongue in cheek before reading! I love your channel. I usually find it super helpful. I was hoping to find some organizing inspiration for motivation. Instead I now feel woefully inadequate. I’m going to have to have my friend, Anne watch this and come over to help. I’m sure this will involve reciprocation, but needs must. I already use the bin system, but I know a lady at church who has her inventory on the outside of the freezer organized by crate. Each shelf or layer of the freezer has a layer on the marker board. And then there is a space for each crate on the correct layer. Changes to the inventory are made as she takes something out. Her family is trained to do the same.
I organize our chest freezers with color coded bags. It’s not perfect, but it helps.
There is something so comforting about having a freezer full of butter, lol. Great job moving and organizing all of those freezers with a quasi-broken finger!
We have two large stand up freezers,one large chest freezer,and two 7 cubic foot chest freezers. We raise our own beef,pork,chicken,turkey,and we hunt and fish. We also have a huge garden. What we don’t grow we locally source. Not much in the freezers is store bought. Four freezers are organized. I have one freezer that we put all the older food in to use up first.
I love Butcher Box. I’ve used them for a few years now. Not only is the quality amazing, but I enjoy the fact that I’m supporting smaller farmers.
I like to support farmers too but I want to support American farmers and the beef from Butcher Box is from Australia.
@@JaneNorthrop
🎯 🇺🇸👍🏼
@JaneNorthrop Are there American Farmers with grass-fed and grass finished beef?
@@JaneNorthrop AND, as more folks buy grass-fed, more farmers will BE ABLE to change how they ranch!!
@@almmason7 Yes!! Resources online, farmers markets, local butcher shops, and just plain old word of mouth are all great ways to find them 😊
Great tips as always, thank you!!
Great as always!
Loved the ideas!
I sure hope you have a power back up generator
Great video! Thank you!
Brilliant video. Thank you
Great Video! Thank you❤
I'm going to try this.
Drawer Freezer..love it!! Never seen one..
Great ideas! Thanks 😁❤
I have 2 freezers other than my freezer drawer of the fridge. I have a big chest freezer in my mud room that I call my fish freezer and it is full of salmon for the year (we have a fish wheel on the copper river here in Alaska) and halibut and Alaskan spot shrimp and smoked salmon and various other seafood. I also keep my husband’s frozen treats in there. My big upright freezer in the garage is for all other meats and frozen vegetables and freezer meals. I have them separated into crates and bins by categories. I love my freezers! Our friend raises, butchers and processes beautifully delicious chickens and now I want a little chest chicken freezer for when he processes chickens in the fall!
I am from London and I love my freezers too! I have a big family and am always hosting too. In the house, I have 1 x american style fridge freezer and in the garden shed, I have 1x chest freezer, 2 x tall drawer freezers and 1 x fridge freezer. I could do with some more 😊
Your dad's freezers look so good and well-organized
It’s on my todo list as of today!
Yessss ! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for these tips. We will definitely be utilizing the suggestions. 👍
Great video! 👍🏻👍🏻
W3 have a large chest freezer for meats only, baking chest freezer and bacon chest freezer
You are amazing! I love all the organization you share with us. Your calendar is the best I’ve ever had.
I can’t wait for you to share your new home with us.
Great video!! Love your ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great timing. This week I planned to reorganize my freezers. I am going to use some of these tips. Thanks Kimmy!
Magnatizable! This is why I love you ❤
Hi Kimmy! I have watched your videos for years, but I loved this one. Thanks for the tips!
Congratulations on your new home the video is amazing. good idea regarding the freezer. love to all xxx
Your upright freezer looks amazing. We have a chest freezer. It is convenient, but it is not frost free and I find it difficult to use. But, it is all I have. Your Costco drawer freezer is wonderful. I have freezer envy. 😁
✨❤SOOOO GLAD I’ve found you and this video…This is what I need‼️❤️✨
Great job as always!😊
Thank you! 😊
Yes upright
Always appreciate your tips & tricks Kimmy. Congrats on the move!!
Thanks so much!!
I can’t wait to see videos on your freezer kits, meals and food prep. I know you have showed us several before but would love to see updated ones!!
Yes I have a chest freezer and it’s great
We just bought an upright freezer and I'm at the very start of my freezer prep. Thank you for so many ideas from your experience! And thanks for the valuable comments!
I have a fridg/freezer, chest freezer & upright freezer. Thank you for the tips!
Yay!!! Once again you have inspired me to clean! I just finished cleaning and organizing my freezers. Feels good. And we r having a turkey breast for dinner that I found way in the back and forgot about. I just love your videos. Smart and practical.
Hello Kimberly thank you so much for sharing your vlog much appreciated by us all
I am trying to sort out my freezers as well ❤❤
I love freezers. Upright preferably
Thank you so much for thr reminders! I am guilty of not marking the bags... ugh! One time I thought it was enchilda sauce; nope spaghetti sauce LOL. I began the clear bins and love it. Like you we recently moved and waiting for our house in Flagstaff, AZ. Once we begin the move, i will buy a chest freezer. You have given me some ideas with how to store. Love your channel! Thank you!
Motivated me to finally clean out our garage freezer. Did ection categories and added some large baskets. So easy to see what I have!
This video was very helpful. We have a large upright freezer in addition to the one with the refrigerator. Thank you!
I have 2 refrigerator/ freezer & 1 chest freezer. I love the stand up freezer you have with the pull out drawers.
I have a chest freezer that I really don’t love since it is so hard to get things out of, and I bought a Costco drawer freezer which I love
We have two back up freezers!!! It’s helps!!!
Great video. Inventory for me is so important. I have bins in the upright junior freezer, but those frozen vegies and fruits we grew are so lumpity in the freezer. I got some tips, solutions and education today. Thank you!
I'm so gonna organize my freezer soon...before Easter! YES!!🎉🎉🎉
Perfect timing!
One upright freezer in garage, and one small freezer at our lake house in the kitchen +3 refrigerators total with some freezer storage. Thanks so much!
Great video ❤😊
Thank you!
We have a chest freezer and we do what you mentioned it helps us out alot plus I really enjoy watching and learning about different things that you have done and shared thanks for everything plus our house was built in 1950 I think but we have upgraded over the years 😊. Sending you all much love from me and my family ❤️ here in Chicopee Massachusetts.
It is so funny to see you bundled up. I live in Phoenix. I literally plan my major freezer organize day for the coldest morning of the year (usually right after new years) because it’s so hot here and that freezer is outside.
I love freezers too! I have a fridge freezer and 2 chest freezers. In our new house well have an additional fridge freezer. So excited to get everything organised once we move out to the country in May ❤
Oh my gosh!! I can't even imagine having all those freezers and food!! I only have a top fridge freezer in my kitchen!! Lol :)
I would go out of my mind with all those freezers! We are all different :) I obviously love things as simple as possible. I meal plan, am frugal, and don't waste any food. I do keep my freezer very organized to best utilize it though. Love you! xoxo
First time viewer here. You just randomly showed up in my TH-cam feed. All I’m thinking is… WTH? Holy crap that’s a lot of freezers… That’s a lot of food!!! Do you live in a very remote area, where you have to drive over an hour to Costco? (Or equivalent.)That’s the only reason I could think to need so many freezers. Are you ever concerned that you might lose power for an extended period of time and lose all that food? I remember once when one of my children left the freezer door open and we scrambled frantically trying to save what we could. I am honestly intrigued, I will have to look at your other videos …so many questions. Thank you for sharing your lifestyle with us. It’s always so interesting to see how other people live.
A medical emergency, death in the family, job loss, etc. All kinds of reasons to be stocked up on food. And you never know how long you'll need to rely on what's stored up. Even if nothing like that happens, it'll all get eaten eventually...just rotate and replace as needed and make sure you've got backup power.
Everyone should be doing this as best they can, especially when people are constantly talking about "food insecurity." A little bit at a time will add up faster than you think. Widows on SS make it work. Single working parents make it work. Where there's a will, there's a way 😊
Great video
Thanks!
We have the freezer in our French door fridge in the kitchen and an upright freezer and a fridge with freezer in the garage. Thanks for your organization ideas! 😊
I have 3 as well. Upright we bought new, the chest freezer we got free and the house fridge/freezer. I am trying to get them organized right for us too. I do try to keep stuff that my husband will want in the upstairs freezer. I loose stuff in the chest freezer. I have bags in there. I may need to get the bins with handles. I will be watching this video more than once to get the ideas. Thank you! Walmart has similar freezer bins. I like the ones that don't round out at the bottom. Some also tapper so I watch for that.
Hello Kimmy! Excellent tips! Enjoy the rest of your day. 😊🕊️
Thank you! 🤗
I think adding the name of the item and the DATE is very important! It's very surprising how fast time flies and having the date lets you know what to use up first. Good video! We have one upright freezer in our garage in addition to the fridge freezer.
Just in time Kimmy! I discovered that one of our older uprights seems to be not working that great ( we have two uprights, two small chests and one large chest, yes i too LOVE freezers) so I'm frantically readjusting things since we have no place on a Sunday to get it checked out or buy a new one. I needed a break and there you were!
I love it 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Hi Kimmie! We have 3 refrigerators with freezers and a large upright freezer. I like the drawer freezer a lot. I will be considering getting one in the future. Have a lovely day! ~Angel
We have an upright freezer and just redid our laundry room and moved it in there so we are looking at reorganizing it to be functional. Love the video!
A large standing freezer, a chest freezer, and two refrigerators/ freezers, and I could use more. ❤ them all.
We have a drawer freezer in our kitchen fridge.
We also have an upright freezer and a smaller chest freezer.
I like how the freezer bins have straight sides
Great video! Would love to see more videos like this of how you organize your freezer refrigerator and pantry step by step.
More to come!
I have 2 refrigerators/freezers and a large upright freezer ( I believe it is 21 or 22).
Love your ideas. Thank you for sharing. I love your channel 😊❤🥰
I have 2 stand up and 2 chest freezers. You have inspired me to get the clear container and organize. My smaller chest freezer was supposed to be for convenience foods and my bigger chest freezer for veggies my large stand up is in my basement and for meats and I have my smaller stand up in my kitchen for more convenience on foods I need for a couple weeks
I have a planner on my fridge and in pantry I'm just one person but I like to track of what I have or can add too because of you I look for deals 😊🇨🇦
We have an upright commercial freezer that was my father in laws. It has to be 30 years old. I love it. ❤
I am a freezer freak lol. I have a standing one and a chest freezer. After I got the freezers then I got a food saver,bins to organize my food and lastly a notebook to keep inventory 😂. I think a third freezer is in the near future ❤. Thank you for the extra tips. When I seen your video was about freezers I clicked on it so fast!
Hi Kimmy, we got a chest freezer when we got married, 25 + yrs ago. It is still going strong. I never utilized it well until I started watching your channel. Now comes in handy with all our meat when I buy in bulk. I used bins around my house. Of course we have two refrigerator/freezers. One in kitchen with drawer on bottom & basement one is our side by side. Has water and ice in door which makes better than or kitchen one. We had another French door refrigerator with freezer on bottom and something stopped working. I love this smaller one for, like you said, kid stuff or convenience food. I also want to get it fixed for summer drinks or platters when I have get togethers. Just hosted a baby shower for our niece on Sat. I had to make many trips to the basement than the 4 steps to the garage. Then we got an upright freezer by your recommendation and so excited but then the compressor went out. Hubby said it could be fixed but it isn't yet, so we got a new upright and it is full!! Need to reorganize them all after watching this video. Thanks Kimmy!!!! 💗
I have two chest freezers, one upright and three with a fridge/freezer combo. Yes, I suffer from the same thing as you. They are pretty organized but I definitely learned a few things here that I’m going to put into action. Great video.
I’m so happy to see you on video again. I know your life has changed and been chaotic. Great job 👏 on the freezer organizing. Love your channel, and you’re so cute, kind and lovable.
Love 💕 and Hugs 💙💙💙
Thank you Linda
We have both. I know the chest in power outages is best but I sure like the uprights better, it’s like the washer when your 5’ tall ya nearly have to go headfirst to grab when it gets down to half full!
Great freezer organizing solutions!❤ We have a bottom freezer for everyday food and one small 5 cubic feet deep/ chest freezer. We definitely need more. We are a family of 6, so its time but we don't have alot of space. 😮
I have a chest freezer and also an upright freezer. I do a lot of food preservation. I definitely like the upright freezer the best.
Like your Dad...I store my ground beef in the door of my up right freezer. Steaks and roasts on the bottom shelf. I have a bin for cooked meals I prep for my 86 yr old Mom. She likes my cooking 😊Thank you for all your wonderful videos ❤
