Ha! I always have the best of intentions regarding keeping things
arranged in the freezers. I have labels on 3 shelves in the
side-by-side freezer for Beef, Pork, Chicken and the 4th shelf gets
everything else like sauces, ice cream, etc. Frozen veggies and
fruits are sent to the upright in the basement. But it never fails
that there's no room on the Chicken shelf because I always fill it up
with homemade chicken stock or for some other reason. The Beef shelf
is now smaller as we eat less beef. So my organized freezer is a
disaster. Things go where ever there's room. Oh, well... I do like
your improvised freezer basket idea, though.

I need to do that too! But I know it won't last long. *sigh*
