Especially if you watch for sales either on Amazon or even Foodsaver used to occasionally run pretty good ones. They go a lot further than you'd realize.
Also if you buys rolls instead of pre-cut. [Reply]

Break down Jewdog and buy some freezer tape so you can label everything you freeze with date and item on outside of freezer bag. Problem solved forever! :-) [Reply]

Well, that really doesn't solve the problem it just lets you know how long you let shit stay in there. I have the same problem though, I keep piling shit on top and I know theres some good 10 year old stuff at the bottom. Our local grocery just went to all Angus beef and had a 25% off to get it going and I fuckin loaded up. [Reply]

As Hog Farmer says, it doesn't solve the problem. Nothing can stay organized in a chest freezer. Who wants to take all the old stuff out and put the new stuff on bottom every time you go to freeze something you just bought? It's fucking horrible, so shit just gets pilled on top and before you know it, you've got months of old meat sitting in the bottom looking like Billay after a night in Westport.
Get am upright freezer Hog Farmer. This was a Kenmore on sale at Sears, delivered it for free. I'm in love. [Reply]

Beer looks good. What is it?
Yeah we don't buy buns unless we are feeding several or I'm doing some pulled pork or brisket. Every time we buy them they end up super hard or moldy in a day so I get really pissed. Poverty Buns it is.
Freestate Golden. It's brewed in Lawrence. It's a lot like Boulevard wheat except filtered. [Reply]

You know what, this just made me think how wonderful it is to live in the USA.
And I think an upright is a great idea. Money saved in the long run. [Reply]

You can freeze those buns, to prevent that from happening. Just take them out as needed to thaw first. Then either grill or toast a bit if you like or just eat as is.
I have buns and breads frozen all the time just to keep them fresh, because I can't just run out for a simple loaf of bread easily with my allergy. [Reply]
