Clean out your freezer, and defrost it, if you haven't already done so. No coolers involved, just package, box, bag up, everything and set it outside. DD14 and I just got our two cleaned out. I have been lax about maintaining a list of contents and "found" a package of bacon, nuts for baking, and even few packages of meat, I had long since forgotten in the 8 months since the freezer was cleaned out good. So, not only do I have a clean freezer, and know the contents, I also am able to cut down a bit of the food bill this month with "found" items I didn't know we had. I can also cut down the feed bill with a few items to give the animals, such as out of date peas, and corn I found dropped to the bottom of the chest freezer. I have been waiting for a good snow day, or at least a cold enough day, to get this done!! Now as we put everything back, I will also make, and maintain a better list of contents while reorganizing everything. This will save a good bit of money in the long run as well. Just a friendly reminder that it is a good idea to do during these yucky cold months when there is not near enough to do outside to keep us busy.
Now I have to put everything back and make my list. I actually had WAY more tomatoes in there than I thought I did too. Never enough tomatoes!! I'm making lasagna for supper, and have the sauce going now...MMmmmm can't wait for those summer tomatoes slathered in cheesy noodley meaty goodness 
I was glad to get the dang freezers done though
