Freezer Food Labeling

ariba10

We are getting on well with the money saving ideas, especialy cooking in bulk and freezing some for later.
There was no problem when we could remember what was in each packet, but we are fast reaching the stage of Pot Luck.
If it had a lable on it it has come off, or any writing that was on the package now resembles Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Any sugestions would be apreciated.

i have 'portions' of food all bagged up, then different types of food in different supermarket bags with biro on the outside telling me what they are! It seems to stay on better than labels.

Lakeland sell labels for frozen items that don't come off, I have never found anywhere else that sells them

I write directly onto the bag using a permenant marker, seems to work pretty well.

I buy the freezer bags which have the white label printed on them , then write in normal biro and it never comes off. Bought my freezer bags from Makro!

Yeah we use permanent marker pens and they work well or you can even buy pens now that call themselves freezer pens!

But I can vouch for the Lakeland labels: not only do they stay on but they COME OFF when you want to re-use the container!
