When I freeze leftovers I use whatever may be handy (I’m talking to you cool whip and butter tubs) and there isn’t a really good way to label them. The freezer tape doesn’t really work and the little stickers fall off. I’ve started using blue tape and it has really helped.

I keep a roll on top of the fridge with a sharpie in the middle for easy access and put what it is and the date and then tuck it in the freezer.

Hope this helps someone out there – who like me, has mystery frozen leftovers.

I write directly on the tub with a sharpie. It washes off when I was dishes.

I just write on the container with sharpie then wash it off with a melamine sponge (magic eraser).

Butcher paper. No freezer burn for at least a year. I reuse because it so expensive. I do not throw out food anymore due to freezer burn. I wrap in plastic wrap and finish with my butcher paper.

I find stuff buried in my freezer two years old. Still good.

Anyway, that’s me. I couldn’t afford the bags for the food sealer.

I use plain masking tape and it has always stuck just fine for me. I also mark leftovers in the fridge so we don’t play they how old is this game.

Take the blue tape & seal the lid around the container. Label on the side to see better than pulling all out just to read the top of storage container.
