Default Freezing advice ? Ziploc freezer bags have funky smell BEFORE use!

Hello all,
I am starting to try freezing my food and am running into problems.

First I tried to put strawberries (for smoothies later) in ziploc
freezer bags and it smelled funny and I found the cause to be the
ziploc freezer bags. they have a very strong inorganic odor. I cannot
bear the though of putting other kinds of food in it, which would make
it worse!

So now what do I do ?

I am considering the following alternatives, please let me know what
brands you recommend or I should stay away from...

1. Freezer paper ?
2. Freezer jars ?
3. Some kind of combination of plastic wrap (for solids ofcourse) used
with freezer paper, I dont like this too much, unweildy.
4. A good source of freezer bags, as non-reactive and UNSMELLY as
possible!
5. Ziploc freezer containers, but they dont have a seal and am sure
will cause freezer burn even with plastic wrap around them.

Thanks
Anita
