What's In Our Freezer? Let's Go Through Our Chest Freezer / How Much Food We Have

[@sandyz3466]

This is such a great way to avoid food waste and make planning and shopping easier. I did an inventory last year and discovered I have enough shampoo and conditioner in storage to last 7 years!! lol I just kept buying them assuming I needed more I guess. Anyhow, doing this allows me to be save time and money and avoid waste

[@mimijulene6307]

You had a great amount of meat and fish in there! I need to go through my small freezer and take inventory too. Happy New Year friends!🙏🏻💜

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Hi Mimi, a lot of meals to plan. Happy New Year My Friend

[@betterlivingonabudget]

New friend here. I love seeing inside people's freezers, and I'm doing the pantry challenge too so had to sub! I'll be going through my side/side freezer this weekend and making a meal plan. I'm an empty nester now, so it's hard to get through it quickly.

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Hello there new friend, thank you for subbing. I am meal planning some of the food now and will be doing a freezer challenge.

[@betterlivingonabudget]

@@OneDayAtATime7 Looking forward to seeing your next video!

[@gemykat8120]

Yes,your right, a chest freezer, is like that. Ours is a little bigger. I love It! I need to go look,and write down, so I know what in it.Great video. God bless you all.

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Thank you, you would probably be surprised how much you might have.

[@ginahardman3573]

I need to do the same for my daughter chest freezer- she has no clue and just buys more

[@donnahouston4193]

You doing good. Stock up for winter. That what we do in midwest. Just in case you snowed in. I in NW Indiana. That what I learned to do. Moving here from AZ. Be prepared lol!

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Thank you Donna, it's good to stay stocked up for those Midwest winters.

[@robinlhoon4456]

You're very smart to freeze some left overs rather than wasting food.🤗

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Thank you, it also makes it easy when looking for something quick.

[@PeggyBalinger]

Boy howdy that little freezer holds a lot of food I was surprised ...it's perfect to I want to look into getting one 😊..bless you both and see ya next time.

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Thank you, it's the perfect size for us two. God Bless, see ya next time.

[@caziontherise]

Another youtuber bought one. I bout one a.week later for 198 and then Walmart put them on sale for 136 for the 7 cu ft which is a little bigger than that one.

[@2024elf]

I need to sort through my freezer and see what I can make with what's in there. Great video❤

Our little chest freezer stopped working and we are saving up for a stand up one. ❤

Thank you Kendra, sometimes I want a stand up one but I'm just happy we have a freezer.

[@lilyflores7018]

I have actually kept milk in the freezer for 6 mths, perfectly fine. I wish my freezer was as organized as yours. Lol... thank you for sharing with us and God bless you guys always❤

[@OneDayAtATime7]

wow, that's a long time for milk in the freezer. I like to rotate them in and out. God Bless my friend.

[@GrandmaTeresa455]

you have alot of meals in there, but theres times you might want something else. using what you have is always good. i live alone and i usually just need milk eggs bread, something small

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Thank you Grandma Teresa, you are right about wanting something else sometimes.

[@deborahwood7142]

I have a freezer like that plua a big chest freezer and 2 fridge freezers. I need to clean them all. I freeze a lot of veggies and fruit in the summer and a lot of discount meats for winter meals. Theres 5 of us.

[@OneDayAtATime7]

@@deborahwood7142 sounds like you keep a good stock on hand.

[@TeresaBlanton-dc4hq]

I sold my very large chest freezer and bought an upright freezer, so much easier. You will have many meal options with what you have. Maybe take some of the older foods or premade meals & put in your regular kitchen freezer. That way you might be more apt to use them up.

[@OneDayAtATime7]

We have a small fridge so the freezer is even smaller, not much room. I know we will eat through the premade foods sooner than later, that's why I leave them on top.

[@maryraybon2305]

I know what you mean with a chest freezer everything gets lost and goes to the bottom. I have a very large chest freezer and I found by using my reusable shopping bags with handles it's so much easier. I use one for all chicken, beef, pork, veggies and etc. When I need to get something out I just pull the bag out and get what I need, then put it back in there. I had an upright but it died and it was packed to the brim and I lost everything, I sick about that for a few days. But it was very old. I have a side by side on the fridge and a small apt size fridge freezer too. We are slowly down sizing now as it's just hubby and I. Thanks so much for sharing, looking forward to the meal plan.

[@OneDayAtATime7]

@@maryraybon2305 that's a good idea using bags, especially with a bigger freezer.

[@karendiane9154]

I would love to have a little Freezer chest. My daughter and I live in an apartment and we have no room for one. Happy New Year to you and Glenn. God Bless you!

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Thank you Karen, it's too bad you can't fit at least a small one in there. It makes a difference in stocking up on food. Happy New Year, God Bless.

[@sheilacirioni4676]

Thank God I don't have a freezer anymore. My fridge/ freezer is bad enough!😊 Corinna,that's got to be as much fun as cleaning oven& fridge😂.👍💖🧚‍♀️🌴

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Thank you Sheila, we don't have a big fridge/freezer so we a separate freezer.

[@courtneyk2733]

I just did our little chest freezer this week too; defrosted it an took inventory. They hold so much and let me have variety. I’m glad I’m not the only one who freezes leftover in individual positions.

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Thank you Courtney, it's so nice to freeze in individual servings. That makes it easy to pull it out a serving at a time.

[@kori8455]

I think we have the same mini freezer. I got mine at Walmart. It’s the perfect size for what I need. My only issue is having to reach all the way into the bottom. Thankfully I’m not short 😂

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Hi Kori, this is the perfect size for us as well. Reaching to the bottom is the worse part of it but I don't do that all of the time so it's ok.

[@christophervogt7456]

You have a lot of goodies in that freezer. Smart to take an inventory. I desperately need to go through my freezer. I have a large freezer drawer on the bottom of my fridge and things get buried like in a chest freezer. I'm notorious for just using the things on top.

[@OneDayAtATime7]

LOL, I think we have all taken from the top because it's easy.

[@caziontherise]

Someone said use reusable shopping bags. The ones that are free with swag bags. If you find 2 at home but all the chicken in one and all the pork in another and lower in the freezer. Add the rest around it. 😊

[@OneDayAtATime7]

I did see that comment and it is a good idea

[@lindanizamoff7981]

Maybe you should get some small plastic baskets and put like items together so if you want say fish you pull out the plastic fish bin. or the beef bin or chicken bin.

[@OneDayAtATime7]

I should get something to make it easier

[@lindanizamoff7981]

@@OneDayAtATime7 maybe get the bins or bags you are going to use in different color like red for the hamburger, yellow for the chicken etc. then when you look in the freezer and you see the colored bins or bags you will know exactly what you are grabbing.

[@loishordge4790]

Check the broccoli and see if that one has a recall. I have a upright freezer. I gave to my daughter and kids. I use to use it when I was going to the food pantry.

I was greatly surprised on how much food our freezer holds & we need to use up before we buy more , however, we always need milk eggs & cheese weekly, but otherwise, I have no need to buy food , it's just 2 of us also .. God bless & have a great year of limited sweets ,,

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Hi Brandy, they do hold a lot of food. Thank you, it's going to be a challenge to cut the sweets down but I think we can do it.

[@marymcdonald6284]

I need to sort out our freezers I have forgotten what is in them. Wish I had some ground meat in them. I make a lot of soup and stew type meals.

[@OneDayAtATime7]

I like to cook through some of the freezer then stock up more so I know what's in there and it helps to have a smaller one so it's easier to go through the food.

[@dakota1992]

I had thought about getting a stand alone freezer but really don't need one at this time. We have two fridges and therefore two freezers which is plenty of room for what we need. I stock up on meats when on a good sale and freeze for future meals.

[@OneDayAtATime7]

Hi Linda, we only have a small fridge with even smaller freezer.

You said Glenn was helping you with meals by looking up recipes. You should give him a list of what ingredients you have in the freezer so you can save money using what you already have and being creative.

Only fish I like is Salomon. I used to like pan fish and baked fish but for some reason I don't care for fish any more. So if we get fish to cook our cats get cooked fish. Our dog love fish (no breading or seasoning) don't know if it is ok for her so she does not get much.

Why do you still get food from the food pantry when your viewers send you so much food and you buy a lot of food save the pantry for people who actually need it

[@OneDayAtATime7]

So you heard me say food pantry and you assumed that we are still going. I said we still have a little left from the food pantry. If you watched any of my other videos you would know that we stopped going to the food pantry a long time ago so please don't make assumptions without knowing everything.

[@christinaweyer3757]

@ Naomi jackson7986 In today's world groceries are so expensive, it takes more than 1 resource to feed a household, and even though Corinna shares her life with us, doesn't give anyone the right to tell her or anyone to not use resources in the community at any time! It's up to her and her husband to make those decisions. When comments are made like this it might stop people from getting help when they really need it because they feel like they don't really deserve it! Eating is a human right. Don't judge when you have no right to.

@@OneDayAtATime7 you're welcome! I am not shocked nor surprised at the mean or hurtful things people say to others in this day and age but I guess its just how often I witness it. I am beginning to feel like people would rather be rude then nice anymore. I would rather be uplifting and encouraging to people any day then be rude and hateful . We all know how it feels to be complimented and we all know how it feels to get hurt feelings and I'm pretty sure we would all rather be uplifted. We as humans can do better. Unfortunately we can't control other people but we can set good examples. I feel like we should try and make some bodies day everyday not ruin it. Love builds up not tears down ❤️

They stopped going to the pantry a while back, and they are also on a very fixed income, so everyone should mind their own concern. If you don't like the channel, skip it.
