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!
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
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 ❤
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 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.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
Yessss ! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for these tips. We will definitely be utilizing the suggestions. 👍
✨❤SOOOO GLAD I’ve found you and this video…This is what I need‼️❤️✨
Hi Kimmy! I have watched your videos for years, but I loved this one. Thanks for the tips!
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!!
Congratulations on your new home the video is amazing. good idea regarding the freezer. love to all xxx
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.
Great tips as always, 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!
Drawer Freezer..love it!! Never seen one..
I have 2 refrigerator/ freezer & 1 chest freezer. I love the stand up freezer you have with the pull out drawers.
Your dad's freezers look so good and well-organized
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 ❤
I have a fridg/freezer, chest freezer & upright freezer. Thank you for the tips!
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!
This video was very helpful. We have a large upright freezer in addition to the one with the refrigerator. Thank you!
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 ❤
Yes I have a chest freezer and it’s great
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!
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! 😊
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.
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 ❤❤
We have an upright commercial freezer that was my father in laws. It has to be 30 years old. I love it. ❤
Always appreciate your tips & tricks Kimmy. Congrats on the move!!
Thanks so much!!
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!
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.
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 ❤
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 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.
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.
Loved the ideas!
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.
Great as always!
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!
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.
It’s on my todo list as of today!
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
Great job as always!😊
Thank you! 😊
I like how the freezer bins have straight sides
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.
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!
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
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!
Brilliant video. Thank you
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 😊❤🥰
We just started getting Butcher Box late last year (box #3 was just delivered this week) and I am LOVING IT! I also love, love, LOVE that they are conservation and environment friendly. The meats are so good, I haven't had any digestive issues with any of their meats like I've had from some meats I've gotten from grocery stores. And I love their recipes. We have our large fridge/freezer in our kitchen, and then in our workroom we have a 2nd smaller fridge/freezer with the freezer on top. It's not huge, but I wanted a 2nd fridge/freezer not just for the frozen items, but also for around the holidays when I do a lot of cooking and baking ahead of time and can just keep it in the fridge for a day or 2, plus extra drinks in the fridge. That has come in really handy when we've had construction workers at the house doing work - they can just grab waters or gatorades from the fridge as needed. Thank you for another super helpful, and informative video!
We have a side by side fridge freezer, and upright and a large chest freezer and since we keep our camper plugged in and going all the time, we utlize that fridge and freezer as well❤
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.
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 love freezers. Upright preferably
Hi from Wales in the UK . I love your organisation and pantry videos. I have a chest freezer and an upright one in my cellar pantry. The upright one currently has neat from two lambs we had processed plus bread products. The chest freezer is for other meat, 6 pint milk containers I like to keep along with frozen veg, fruit/veg that needs canning or non urgent meal planning then I do freeze things like biscuit and pizza dough, freezer meals and other regular stuff. I keep inventory in my kitchen of the freezers and my pantry shelves. Finally I have an overflow freezer upstairs for every day stuff, cheese, breakfast breads like bagels and crumpets, daily frozen veg and meat. I do need to label things JUST a little better. Thanks for hints and tips.
A large standing freezer, a chest freezer, and two refrigerators/ freezers, and I could use more. ❤ them all.
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 have a freezer fridge in our kitchen an additional fridge freezer in our garage and a stand up freezer in the garage. Recently our daughter got married they have inherited a Costco obsession 😮so they are all stuffed gulls. I had the freezers all organized but then 8 years ago I had a series of stokes and I lost all control of my freezers and pantry everyone started jamming things ever so I’m at a loss😢 you have some great ideas thank you now I have inspiration to get my glove on and ask for some assistance ❤️
Our refrigerator freezer is on the bottom and I love it! That’s where I keep frozen fruits and vegetables, bread, and ice cream 🤗. My upright freezer holds all the meat and make ahead casseroles, butter, cheeses, and chicken broth.
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 😊
Great ideas! Thanks 😁❤
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 😊🇨🇦
Our first house warming gift was our upright freezer 30 years ago. We currently have to fridge freezers too which is amazing to have flexibility. I just added two boxes to see if I liked that organization system but I am not sure. Still working on the best system for what we have now.
Great video!! Love your ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to try this.
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!
Yes & yes 😂. 2 chests, 1 upright and the bottom refrigerator freezer
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. 😮
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. 😁
Oooo, mememe! Lol!😂 We moved my mother in law in, so we had a chest freezer (ours) and standing freezer (hers). The chest freezer lasted longer (tbf, we live in Arizona, and it's so hot in the garage. I think hers was just a bit older than ours, but no problem for ours so far. Now we have 2 chest freezers👍
Anyway, I organize the freezers with soft bins. One we use those soft toy baskets, the other I decided to go with those hot/cold grocery bags with the zippers. Both are great, because you use maximum space, which keeps stuff cold. When the power went out, everything generally stayed frozen. I kept the veggies on top, and they did thaw (those veggies did not roast properly, if that helps anyone. Flavor fine, texture a little off). Having the bins & bags makes it so easy when you want to organize the freezer, and clean stuff, esp when you have meals. Then you can just about organize by week, and easily get to something maybe you're craving.
I use office bins in the fridge. Had to get a new fridge during the pandemic (why wouldn't stuff break during an emergency 🙄). I didn't have great options, because 99% were available in 6 months or more.... So unfortunately this fridge was designed with 1 less shelf (literally, doesn't have slots for more). I used those little cabinet extender shelves, and that way I have eggs on top, cheese/yogurt on the bottom. I got some long skinny bins which fixes the unreachable top shelf (butter, cream cheese, jams/odd jars, then space for a water pitcher and a container). For some reason, desk stuff is cheaper?
Great video! Thank you!
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 side by side refrigerator/freezers and a medium sized chest freezer. When we changed to carnivore/Keto diet I changed how I store. The primary fridge's freezer holds meat. The secondary has vegs & fruits and the chest holds big meats we find on sale such as hams, briskets, whole chickens. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.
Great Video! Thank you❤
We will have the drawer freezer from Costco and a chest freezer. And two fridge freezers. I am so excited to use the drawer freezer, got it on sale!!!!! We plan to buy part of a cow and use that one for meat. Love how things won’t be falling out all over the place. Love the bin idea also!!! Definitely using that too!!!
We have 2 upright freezers. But I love that organization idea.
Iv 3 freezers makes life so easier 😊
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 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!
Hello Kimmy! Excellent tips! Enjoy the rest of your day. 😊🕊️
Thank you! 🤗
I can't believe I found a butcher box here in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 I can't wait to order a box
I have a chest freezer and an upright freezer in my basement. I also have a refrigerator in our garage. I absolutely love them all. We buy a lot of bulk meats.
I absolutely love your videos and I am so glad that your finger is going to be ok. I have a chest freezer and 2 fridge freezers. I am planning to get rid of the extra fridge as soon as I get it emptied. I am a single senior and I am well stocked with frozen food.
That is awesome! Thank you about my finger. I’m so happy it isn’t broken, but man the bruise is fierce
We have 5 freezers. One in our house fridge, 2 large uprights and 2 medium chest freezers. I have them organized by category. First upright is meat, second upright is frozen veg, freezer meals, pureed pumpkin etc. the chest freezers vary depending on season. I love my freezers!
Just in the last 6 months we moved states and I got a small standing freezer for the garage. My goal is to grow and preserve our food. We buy organic and local grown as much as possible, so I buy in bulk and make meals with leftovers... needed an additional freezer!
Boy this info could not have come sooner! My 2 fridge freezers and one large stand up freezer are in dire need of reorganization!!! Thank for these tips!!!
Glad I could help!
We have two back up freezers!!! It’s helps!!!
Have an upright freezer in my garage, large, whickh I bought about 20 years ago from Sears. It is fabulous, I live alone but still make meals ahead and store in freezer. Thanks for those great tips. Blessings in your new home! How is finger?
2 fridge freezers (1 has drawer freezer which I despise :( ) , 1 stand up freezer (my fav too
I have 4 uprights - two very large, two large, mostly all meat. One freezer has bins full of raw meat in meal sizes portions, with or without heavy seasoning.. One has bins full of cooked meats. One freezer has glass containers of precooked meals, and the last has bins of cut up beef parts. I do freeze cheese in freezer baggies, a fair amount of frozen vegetables, butter and a few frozen store bought boxed foods. I love my system!
I just have 1 huge upright freezer. No freezer on out fridge. Definitely going to use some of your tips.
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 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!!
