Freezer stash storage

knicoletti · July 2011

I have read posts about how many oz. you all stashed... Where the crap are you storing it all? I have a little over 100 oz in our fridge (sent some to MIL) and I it seems milk is taking over. Is there a storage trick I am missing?

1) We bought a small deep freezer when Jack was born in 2008.

2) I use one of those First Years milk storage thingys. It makes the milk freeze flat in the Lansinoh bags. Far neater than just laying them flat to freeze them.

3) After the storage unit and its lid are full, I use a plastic shoe box to store the milk. Each holds quite a few bags laid on their side in chronological order. It just keeps it neater.

YES!! And it is SO incredibly easy. There is even a You Tube video to help you get started.

your link is broken, but I assume you are linking to the gift bag storage?

(That is a good method but only if you have a very small stash)

(I think your link just has an extra space in front of it)

This.

Except I use just a regular old cardboard shoebox once my organizer and lid are full.

This is a great (and cheap) idea. Definetely will use it. Thanks!

I have a large chest freezer where I store it. It can freeze up to a year in a chest freezer.

I line mine up in one of those tin-foil pans, the 8x8 are just what I have on hand. I can put them in order date wise and use the oldest first, and they fit in there nicely. The shoebox idea sounds good though, I might have to go digging for a shoebox once my fridge freezer is full again and I have to transfer them to the chest freezer.

I purchased one of these at Target for around 13 bucks. It stores quite a bit and makes for easy access to older milk.

I like this! We have a big deep freeze that came with our house when we bought it. I was so excited about having a big freezer, and DH made fun of me for wanting to keep the "Dexter freezer" (i.e., where a murderer would keep his bodies - although Dexter doesn't do this, but I digress...). Well anyway it has paid off now. I use the plastic shoeboxes like ASB, but was wondering how to better use the tall space.
