Not accounting for freezer space

When it comes to your freezers, you tend to overfill them. This is because it is convenient to keep food on hand without worrying about it spoiling if you don't use it right away. One of the most common frozen food mistakes is failing to account for available freezer space.

You must have enough freezer space to store all of the foods you intend to store. You want everything to be secure and intact so that everything remains fully frozen and free of freezer burn. To save space in your freezer, pack food in flat freezer bags rather than bulky plastic containers, and divide items into serving sizes. Another way to ensure that everything fits in the freezer is to remove items from boxes, such as that ice cream cake you bought for a party, and instead wrap it in a freezer-safe bag.
