De'Etta's Freezer Challenge...

Well, I've finally fallen victim to a blog challenge. lol De'Etta is running a challenge to work on your freezer this month. Here are my goals, and note that these are for both freezers:

1. Defrost the freezers
2. Clean out the old stuff, sort out the rest
3. Fill it with good things
4. Organize it all so that I can find things!
5. Set up an inventory system so I can make the freezer a useful tool

I could have said it all with, "Tame the scary place!" But, listing out a few goals will keep me on track. Unfortunately, I forgot to take "before" photos! It is mostly because I never intended on actually joining a challenge right now with everything that we have going on. I originally started with just taking an inventory so that I could head to the grocery store. I really need to whittle down the grocery budget at the moment so I thought I might just find some things that I didn't know I had. Half way through I started throwing out a few things. A few minutes later I decided to move a few things around. By the time I was working on the inside freezer it dawned on me that I had already started De'Etta's challenge without even knowing it! Hmm... maybe I'll have to join up with Lisa's "Back to School" challenge. lol Maybe I'll just tackle one at a time. :)

Here are my "during" photos since I don't have a before. The inside freezer looks SO much better already (which is a scary thought!) I need to focus on getting breakfast foods in there as well as quick meals. The chest freezer needs some work - make that lots of work. How does everyone actually organize their chest freezers? I'm wondering if I got baskets to hold things if it would help. More to consider...
