Christine, thank you for being relatable and not editing this to look perfect and easy. I prefer real life over pretty and perfect any day. I think that’s why your channel is so popular. You show us the struggle.

[@FrugalFitMom]

HA! Thank you! You just can't gloss over the struggle

[@lisa-anned9080]

Can we also talk about the accuracy too! I cleaned my freezer recently and the “I have no idea why this is in here” struggle is real, because then you wonder “who put this here? Did I do it? If I did, why did I put it here?”

[@annroxs1397]

I love that the timestamp for your freezer cleanout is called "Christine Vs Freezer" 😂😂😂😂 I love watching someone with my sense of humor

[@crystalscott6158]

“This just slides. It’s supposed to just slide right? This has to just slide. I CANT SLIDE IT.” 😂😂😂😂 love your videos!!!!

[@FrugalFitMom]

😁

[@monicavalentine8472]

@@FrugalFitMom balsamic glaze over ice cream really good

[@FrugalFitMom]

@@monicavalentine8472 Thanks for the tip!

[@heyhihellno]

I recommend fruit/veggies and treats ontop and meat on the bottom. Would rather have fruit sitting next to my ice and incase theres an outage or accident id rather have fruit juice on my meat than meat juice on my fruit. Just my over thinking lol. Love your vids!

[@thisuniquechica]

Not overthinking. You’re smart.

[@ruthmgonigle5914]

I was thinking exactly this. I thought you did great those lower drawers are hard. If it were me I would put all the meat down below. Don't mix the meats or stuff too full. Like one type of meat per container say, or zone. Sausage on the left quarter, beef on the right. Miscellaneous pinto beans in the front. Fruit and those harvest cups on the top.

[@triciarie3972]

That's exactly what I did and exactly why I did it. Fruit/vegetables in top drawer and meat in bottom.

[@richardrybicki749]

Mary on Richard's phone from Florida just a note to anyone who reads your comments. For those that are unsure about the claim that thrive for every membership purchase gives away a membership just want to let you know I am a recipient of a free year's subscription it's true people they do what they say. And it's affordable I can get things I can't get otherwise

[@millennialmommaker]

We have a bottom freezer and I keep it pretty well organized. I keep frozen veggies/fruit on top, then meats only in the left bucket and breakfast, bread and premade things (chicken nuggs, etc) in the right bucket.

[@FrugalFitMom]

Sounds great!

[@huneaultna]

There is so much chaotic energy here and it is supremely relatable 😂

[@janedoe9421]

I used to send buckwheat pancake mix to my dad in Ga, he loved them and he couldn't find it. Well dad passed away 5 years ago today. His neighbor/friend fell in love with the pancakes through dad and now I send him the mixes every Christmas. 🤗 Sams Club members mark organic pasta sauce is really good!!

[@harmonicaveronica]

I do this with my freezer every month or two. I take out everything, give it a good clean, then update the inventory list of what's in my freezer. I do the same with my fridge every month where I take out everything and clean it, but I also do a small weekly organization and inventory without removing everything. It helps so much with meal planning and cutting down on food waste

[@oxymoira]

lay that separator flat at the bottom of the freezer, under the bins, otherwise it will get lost in the basement or a cupboard ..

[@tracibritt5723]

You might want to use the rubber grip shelf liner under them to keep from sliding.

[@SaturnGeminiLove]

I love how you keep your videos real. What I mean is that you don’t put on a front that “oh it only took 30 minutes” when in reality it took hours. You tell us what really goes on and for that (and other reasons) you are my favorite youtuber. You and your family are amazing. Much love and thank you for the motivation because my freezer is the exact same way right now. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@caiti8638]

❤ this. The middle piece fiasco while Haley was trying to get the bins unstuck made my morning!!!

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

Thank goodness I peed before starting to watch this video. lol

[@virginievangrunderbeek1338]

My favorite part of the video : from minute 14:00 😄😄 so refreshing to see real life and that everybody is struggling at times ! Great job to both of you by the way !!

[@FrugalFitMom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@anitalouisevelasco7482]

I usually place my stuck plastic containers in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Cold usually shrinks and hot will expand.

[@amberthistle2803]

If anyone ever doubts that you and Hailey are related, just show them this video! I love it!

[@anitas5817]

I’d love to get an update later on how you end up liking this freezer arrangement and how it works out.

[@atdepaulis]

Ok, your struggles are EXACTLY why I don’t want to spend the money or time buying bins to put things in lol I just separate things into groups in my freezers and redo as needed lol

[@anitas5817]

Am I the only one that rewatches Christine’s videos just for fun?!?😆

[@cosmicwoodtuft6338]

The mother daughter angry struggle is absolutely beautiful. I love this entire video so much. 🤣💖💖💖

[@chrysvest4746]

I love that your content is real life and not staged. I also love that your teenager is not “embarrassed “ to be on too! ❤

[@729kristi]

Literally looks like my freezer. Opened mine up this morning to do an inventory and was like “...uh....I’ll do this later.” I knew I had to pull everything out and was NOT looking forward to it.

[@brennaskye4974]

THANK YOU for being real and showing the struggles of organization! No one talks about how things just don’t work the way you want them to and that’s why I hate organizing so much!! Thank you for the laughs!

[@donnalacey6403]

Well, look at it this way........you certainly won’t go hungry for a long while! Love your videos and your family. I have insomnia and watching your videos is so comforting and enjoyable when I’m still awake in the wee hours of the morning.

[@Cissa_]

My like button turns white. Didn’t knew that had all this different colors

[@CardsbyMaaike]

when I had a chest freezer I would use those dollar store like baskets, cos they came in the colors of food prep, so red for red meat, brown for cooked meat, blue for fish, green for veggies, white for dairy, i think i had purple for fruit or yellow can't remember, but then i would know. and also writable magnetic stickers on the outside that help me see what's inside. i would remove the magnet when i took something out and stick it on the side. helped with meal planning, cos i could just pick and mix the different magnets. and the colored baskets help you organize everything in the long run,all the same baskets look nice but i think stuff is gonna creep into other bins. looks good though right now

[@kimosborne5753]

I just found your channel. Thank you for being REAL. I think the hardest part of organizing is organizing the containers.

[@paulaalford5974]

Ok, I haven’t finished your vid yet but thank you for being so real. This is me every day and it’s refreshing to know that other people struggle sometimes too.😊

[@SpringFlowers537]

Christine, you need Souper cubes. You freeze your food into squares and 4 squares fit into a gallon zip lock. They’re amazing. It’s the freeze lemon juice in ice cube trays idea, but shapes that stack (squares vs circles) and a lid when freezing so whatever your freezing doesn’t go everywhere! No more bulky zip lock bags of beans that are odd shaped that don’t stack! Look them up, just do it!

[@lorimeyer1551]

I think you’re going to love this organization after experience it for a few days. And, loved Hailey separating the bins. She is hysterical too... and growing up.

[@mrsdavidmiller]

I LOVE that your meat is wrapped in butcher paper! My Mama and Uncle owned a mom n pop shop grocery store with a full meat counter. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

[@antiantipoda]

I think the snafu might have been that you measured the size of the plastic drawers, not the available space. To organize things don't have to fit perfectly, they just have to be smaller than the space available. When you fill them up they become stable, or if it is a pantry or shelves, it's also fine to have some "blank" space between the containers.

[@jadeaddington7375]

I'm striving to be more frugal in 2021, and you make everything so approachable and give me hope that I can declutter, eat HEALTHY on a budget, and be more resourceful and less wasteful! If a mom of 4 can do it, I (a mom of four fur babies) can do it! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@lisarobins]

So refreshing to see a real-life organisation video.

[@amandashepard5784]

BAHAHAHA I thought at one point I was going to see something fly across the room

[@caitlinwhisenhunt1341]

I wanted to thank you so much for your videos! I'm a married, full time college student. I had to quit working a few months ago because my grades were dropping, so our income went down. Thanks to your videos, our grocery bill went from $400-$500 a month to $250-$300. I'm still working on getting it down to about $200, but it's helped us a lot.

[@brg2743]

Buy meat only on sale at a good price. Stock up. Aldis saves us a lot on other groceries.

[@sharondavizcaino7603]

I really enjoy your videos because your such a real person you don't edit out mistakes that you make and you have a huge heart in trying to help others

[@garmstrong4872]

Thank you for being real. Organization isn't always easy or pretty no matter what other KZbinr's say. You make us believe that anyone really can do this.

[@annfarrell6479]

I’ve never seen your videos before...you are so funny. It’s nice to see someone who isn’t afraid to be themselves....on film! I think I’ll stick around and look at your other videos. You and your daughter were delightful and REAL. Thanks.

[@okimom2girlz]

Christine, if the sliding around of the bins is bugging you, just get refrigerator shelf liner and put it in the freezer drawer. Makes for easy clean up as well. Blessings, Sabrina

[@thebadgerette69]

Or buy place mats from the dollar store.

[@cherishawilliams9644]

I so appreciate the honesty in this video! I'm not good at things like this. It helped me to see you get it done.

[@gingerstrahan7464]

Black here! Glad you have joined the Take Your House Back Challenge. Now I can fin your vids without a separate step to swirch back and forth. Need your energy today!

[@anakelolo]

Hard plastic bins crack and do not let air circulate. I've been pretty happy with plastic-coated wire baskets made for freezers.

[@genxx2724]

Yikes

[@karamurphy7079]

This was great-we’re learning from your mistakes. 😀 My husband wants to get a fridge like this. I have the same concerns about things getting buried. This was super helpful!

[@DarkQueen619]

This literally made my morning! The organization struggle is real! Thanks for the relatable laugh's while I procrastinat cleaning out my fridge 😅!

[@StacyBlack1970]

While I know the process was frustrating, as someone who did this last fall, I have to say that I love the containers. I think the ones I used were much longer than yours but I have a side-by-side. I sorted by types of meats, fruits, veggies, breakfast, etc. and it has been a game changer for me. Especially from keeping things from falling over/out of the freezer.

[@lindaleight5291]

I always know that your organization videos are going to be entertaining! Thanks for sharing your frustration. It helps to know we're not alone.

[@jamesstuart446]

Hi Linda

[@Savingmomma]

Best solution I have seen! Yay!!! We all hate these freezers! You are not alone!

[@anitas5817]

I absolutely love my new bottom freezer but realllly can use these organization ideas! Thanks so much for the great video!

[@sherilynalexnder897]

Never underestimate the power of tupperware for organizing fridge/freezer and drawers! I love those tall plastic bins (like for cereal) that come with 3 different sizes. I have a side-by-side fridge/freezer, and use the tall bins to get more space out of the door shelves. I use the big white rectangular baskets from DT to corral food by category, and there's just enough space to slide a couple of the smaller 'cereal bins' alongside the baskets. At least that way I'm pulling out baskets to shuffle through instead of a bunch of loose stuff falling out on the floor and my toes.

[@AskAgainL8ter]

I love how authentic you are!

[@MissEmeraldRose]

What about taking all three freezers you have and organising them together. For example 1 have all your meat, 1 have all your freezer meals, 1 with frozen veggies, breads etc or something like that. That way it's more sorted and you know if you want meat you can go to 1 place and find what you need.

[@angelahawkins8069]

I'm sorry.. but I literally laughed so hard watching you try and get the freezer shelf back in! What sent me over was watching your daughter make some amazing moves to pull the 2 containers apart! Thank you for you all just being real!🤣🤣

[@maryannbaldez6629]

The first week kitchen decluttering playlist is awesome! Thank you all for putting it together!

[@FrugalFitMom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@WellnessandWorkouts]

What a breath of fresh air to see you go through the same kinds of struggles many of us also experience while organizing. Your freezer looks great in the end. Thanks for the advice and inspiration! :)

[@AishaMBudgets]

Hahaha your struggle with the middle slider thingie and your daughter with the containers. I was so excited when they came apart! Too cute :)

[@raisingmitchells1224]

I am loving you trying to sort your drawer freezer. I am a mum of three (age 5 and under) and my 5 and 4 yr have been sent home to ‘home learn’ this week (uk- we found out at 9pm the night before) and you trying to make your freezer work is what I showed my husband to explain homelearning this week. ‘It doesn’t work this way or that way’ *sigh* 😝😂😂

[@carrieowens4907]

I'm a new sub! Thanks for leaving in all the frustrations of decluttering it helps us all know we are not alone😁

[@FrugalFitMom]

Welcome!!

[@Michelleoles1]

Thanks to you Christine I have now cleaned out under my sink and all of my freezers. Yeah!

[@findingaway5512]

Yes!!! So glad you got it to work! It looks amazing! 🤩 Hope it stays that way!

[@mar-linaustell7505]

My freezer is similar to yours and I was able to purchase 2 containers for the bottom and it's much more organized. Tomorrow I will find two more for the top. Thanks for making this video!

[@mj482]

Update video on this, 1st video I've watched from ur channel and I have the same issue with my freezer we never know what's in it until I do a deep cleanin. Will be binge watching your other videos. Love how you guys put this playlist together, thanks to all that participated.

[@apostolichouseofprayer2460]

Hi Christine my favorite thing is non skid shelf liner I use it to even deliver wedding cakes so try it in the bottom of your freezer and they will not slide around just a good tip for you. Thank you for your channel I love watching you and your family.

[@tylermunson9307]

I love how real this is 😊😊😊

[@Mommo42]

Wow that is awesome. Thanks for the video. Time for me to get busy. I have a made a Inventory log for my Freezer keep track what I take out and what I add.

[@michelekuhne9179]

I love seeing you and Haley working together on this project. You make me laugh so much. My freezer got so much stuff in it at one time the drawer wouldn’t close properly, which led to its own set of problems. Now the refrigerator has a problem with incontinence so I have to take everything out of freezer and fridge and find the hose that is blocked up and get it moving again. I love the idea of the containers. They would even work in my downstairs deep freeze because that is a chest freezer and it is impossible to find anything in the heap of disorganization that it is. Thanks for teaching me stuff while entertaining me!

[@TurtleMom23]

1. I love your videos. They are real and they are raw. 2. I love your organizational videos because they feel real. This one, for example, is something I would do. I really feel yours and your daughter's frustration with those totes and the freezer piece. 😂 3. I think the freezer looks a lot more organized. Mission accomplished! 🎯

[@barbarahelfer8291]

Be careful with the height of your bins - you don't want to block the airflow in your freezer. Thanks for your channel love your tips!

I totally appreciate your vibe! Real. Silly. Fun. I love it.

[@sophialarson9100]

I love all your videos! So much fun and made me actually get up and cook/clean a little!

[@luckaty]

I cleaned out, organized and inventoried four deep chest freezers in our lodge today, in no time at all I needed gloves and lots of baskets and bins. It was quite the job, but SO satisfying to get it all done! My liked thumbs up button turned black. 🐧

[@maryloupedreiro8374]

I have a bottom freezer and I have the same issues. Years ago when I had a top freezer, I thought It would be so great to have a bottom freezer but I realized, I liked the top freezer better. But I am so envious of your big island to lay everything on to sort everything. I have small counter spaces and a small table.

My hubby loves buckwheat pancakes. I ordered some pancake/waffle mix off of Amazon. Was just thinking earlier I would make pancakes for breakfast tmrw morning. Love it with maple syrup. And also, we just cleaned out our fridge freezer. I keep bins in it to keep stuff organized. We do have 2 freezers and 2 refrigerator freezers. I keep different things in each freezer also for organization.

I watched a lady , she would take a note book and write down everything that was in the freezer and how many so when she used something she knew what was left

[@donnakennedy430]

This only works if everyone in the house follows this rule. My husband doesn't even check the current stock before shopping. Just walks into the store with a vague plan on what he wants to make and buys whatever catches his eye. Then I'm supposed to magically make 10 more bags of groceries fit into overflowing food storage areas. All we ever run out of is fresh goods and condiments. I forced him to cook/eat from home for 7 days straight using only what we had on-hand. He acted like it about killed him. We ran out of ketchup. I told him we had a blender, cans of diced tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, spices, and anything else he might need to make fresh ketchup. We stayed out of ketchup until I agreed to grocery shop again; only really needed milk.

[@amyschmelzer6445]

I have a list of meats but that’s it. According to my list I should have a pack of fresh side of pork in there somewhere but it’s either long gone or buried under the half of beef in the chest freezer. Sometimes I forget to scratch things off.

[@alexgrabowski3235]

Omg Christine 😂😂. Girl I feel your pain!! I just started organizing my fridge and freezer and it just sux. But I gotta tell you... the struggle you and your daughter had.. 😂😂😂. I really needed a good laugh this week! So sorry. Lol lol.. the struggle is real! 😂❤️
