Instructions

Though we have a small chest freezer it was still challenging to keep track of what was inside.

We were SO tired of pulling stuff out to see what was in it.

We tried using plastic container to help organize it.

Unfortunately, those crack after being in the cold for so long.

 

We purchased a tool of dry-erase contact paper. This one came with 3 markers and an eraser.

Then we purchased a set of colorful grocery bags. (We needed 2 sets)

After measuring our lid we place the dry-erase contact paper over the lid.

The paper was trimmed to fit.

The back was peeled off and CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY smoothed onto the lid.

Made the top look like new!

Next, make a list of the categories you want to use and the color of bag you want to assign to it.

Grab your bags and start filling them!

If using the FREE Printable Inventory Sheets, fill them out as you load up your bags.

We used GREEN for vegetables.

Place the items in as orderly as you can.

Decide what bags will be on the bottom. These are things you might not get too as often. We used BROWN for bread items, ORANGE for fruit and NAVY for ready-to-use items such as frozen leftovers.

Place the next layer of bags on top of the first. We used PINK bags for plant-based and regular meats.

Utilizing the Lid for Inventory

We used a variety of Dry Erase Wipe-Off Makers and Wet Erase Wipe-Off Markers.

We opted to use Wet Erase markers in the appropriate colors (requires dampness to remove) for the headings and normal Dry Erase wipe-off markers for the food items.
