    Try using masking tape as a cheap alternative to labels :) I do however think, oh I'll be able to tell what that is, defrosted 'gravy' turned out to be steak stew.

    Does masking tape come off easier than labels? The only labels I have and use are the ones I buy for the printer!

    i'm waiting with baited breath for the answer - but thinking of its intended use, masking tape should come off easily. what a splendid idea, lil_me! i do label everying that goes into the freezer, but am really annoyed by the labels not even wanting to come off in the dishwasher. so i put new labels on top, and it gets messier and messier. this might be the perfect solution! i happen to just have bought a roll of masking tape for decorating, so here i go....
