I stick my leftover tomato paste in baggies in the freezer. I remove all the air and freeze it in a thin sheet so I can later break off sections while it's still frozen. The paste saved this way is a bit hard to find sometimes. It always makes me happy to find the paste in the freezer after searching for it. Sometimes I don't find it and it makes me sad.

That works too. I flatten it and then make lines so it's easier to
break off. Still prefer the 1T portions though.

I stick my leftover tomato paste in baggies in the freezer. I remove all the
air and freeze it in a thin sheet so I can later break off sections while
it's still frozen. The paste saved this way is a bit hard to find sometimes.
It always makes me happy to find the paste in the freezer after searching
for it. Sometimes I don't find it and it makes me sad.

That's how I was when I went to the garage for more olive oil. I could have
sworn that I had a tiny bottle. I did but I had to go back and look again.

You store small bottles of olive oil in the garage? How quaint? I keep mine in the kitchen. Oh well!!! Its a way to get more exercise.

I do exactly the same, although I don't have any trouble finding it in the
freezer.

Stuff seems to get buried in our drawer freezer. Small stuff falls to the bottom. It would be a lot easier to find small stuff if we had a side by side design.

Why don't you buy some baskets to use in the freezer? That way small
stuff won't fall out and you can remove them to search for whatever it
is you're looking for.

My DD's house came with a side by side and they hated it. Got rid of
it as soon as they could. They have a French door model with a
freezer drawer now and it works for them.

I like our freezer drawer too!
