@dollartreedinners: This October, I’m challenging myself to cook through my freezer. Not just to clear out the forgotten bags and boxes, but to save money, reduce waste, and make room for something bigger...preparing Thanksgiving meals to gift to my community. If your freezer’s gotten a little out of hand too, let’s tackle it together, one meal at a time. #FreezerChallenge #NoFoodWaste #HomeCooking #OctoberGoals #CookWhatYouHave #FreezerCleanOut #BudgetFriendlyMeals #FallCooking #OrganizedKitchen #FoodWithPurpose #CommunityMeals
Unemployed currently, we are through the freezer for the month of September and visited our first food pantry. Just have to survive one day at a time

I had to start keeping an inventory visible on the fridge door when I realized I had 5 unopened bags of chicken nuggets in my deep freezer 😅

I told my kids to come shop my pantry and freezer. It’s insane.

A couple of times a year I go through my cabinets and freezer and write down the contents on dollar tree dry erase boards. As I use things they get crossed off. I have another board where I write meal ideas using what I have. It doesn't work forever (yay messy brain!), but it usually helps me reduce what I have stored.

Next time my husband says our freezer is too full, I will tell him that it’s just a “black hole of good intentions”! 🥰

My mom is getting me a Costco trip for Christmas, so my goal is to eat down my freezer and pantry to make room!

Making room this time of year is vital. I make two big dinners a year - Christmas and St Patrick’s Day. I start buying what I need now to save a little money. I need space in the freezer. As I use what is there I replace it with stuff for winter.

Do you plan to record any more of the meal in a bag series? I loved it and am wanting to put some in my local free pantry. I hope you know how special your page is to so many people 💜

After Helene (I live in southeast GA) I had to throw out everything from a fridge and two freezers…it hurt. So during our hurricane season this year we ate from the freezer. Saving money, no waste, and emptying the freezer in case of potential storms and power outages.

I feel so called out right now. I am afraid to look in there 😅😅 it’s so much easier to buy all new stuff than manage the freezers!

What I’ve found super helpful is taking an inventory of everything i have in the freezer (and even the pantry) and put it into ChatGPT and have it create me a meal plan using as much as possible without having to buy more.

I would be in a panic if I cleared out my freezer. Growing up with food insecurity I emotionally overbuy when I feel like things look too “empty” even if I have no clue what I’m gonna make - at least I have it. 🤷🏻♀
