I don't know if anyone asked this question yet, but inspiration hit me - literally - when I opened my freezer and bags of frozen food fell out.

Is there a way to organize the food in the freezer in bins so that it's categorized and easier to stack? Has anyone here tried that?

Thanks!

I have bins from the dollar store: 1 for raw chicken, 1 for ices/ice cream (so it’s easier to pull the whole bin out and choose the one you want), 1 that is either prepared food or frozen veggies depending on the need. Then with those as a frame, I can stack things in the middle.

In many kitchen set ups this wouldn't be safe.
Keep it accessible, in case of small kitchen fires, mounted on a wall is usually best

I know this is an old thread and I know how unpopular I'll be once it's revived but figured it's better than starting a new thread on the same topic.

So... Where do you keep sweatshirts? No room in my dresser drawers and I don't have shelving.

Where do you keep benchers?

Where do you keep bulky baby equipment? Bassinet, bouncer seat etc.

I hang sweatshirts on hangers next to uniform shirts in the closet.
Benchers (we thinned our collection and only saved a handful - donated to geniza/second hand store) we keep in the dining room furniture behind closed doors.
Bulky baby enjoyment for months in use in the center of the home but then put in storage or donated when not in use.

We lent out bulky baby stuff, then borrowed it back if needed.Or we borrowed lechatchilah! But you should only lend out stuff if you won't be distraught if it's ruined. And we were VERY selective about what we acquired. We bought only what was really necessary, and we looked for space-saving models and things that folded. Half the stuff people have they don't really need. It's an industry out for maximizing profit like any other, and the name of the game is to persuade people to buy-buy-buy.

Unlike most revivals, this was a better idea than starting a new thread.

I got a storage chest/ottoman/bench thing and my kids' backpacks fit perfectly in them standing (I can fit all 7 of them that way).

I came back go thank you for this idea.
I happened to see foldable ottamon benches at Amazing Savings and bought one for the backpacks!!
( just after - I saw similar style at costco!)
Wanted to thank you for the idea!

Love this thread. Thanks for reviving. Ladies never underestimate the power of a dollar store washing up brush holder. You know thay small plasticy round or square thing with holes at the bottom. It has 3 or 4 compartments for your washing up brushes and sponges etc.
I use them for everything!!! Some ways I use:
Plastic cutlery. Dump on table when needed.
Pens/pencils/ rulers...pull out for hwk time.
Toothbrushes and paste and handheld mirror.
They wash easily of course so are most practical. Imho
