LPT: Put your chips in the fridge or freezer An opened bag of Doritos (I get it we eat them in one sitting yes) will last for 2 months in the fridge or freezer. They’ll taste pretty fresh as long as you fold them close and your fridge doesn’t smell. submitted by /u/nobadhotdog

LPT: If your ice cream is rock hard, your freezer is set too low. Maybe this is obvious, but my fridge came set super low and I didn’t even think to mess with it for months. submitted by /u/-im-your-huckleberry

LPT: Store saran wrap/cling wrap in your freezer for better performance. Freezing the cling wrap makes it easier to handle and ensures it sticks better when you’re using it to cover or wrap items. submitted by /u/NoraFox37

LPT: put your lozenges/cough drops in the freezer. This is not medical advice. It’s just a feel-good tip when you don’t feel..good. Also, frozen grapes. submitted by /u/aduik

LPT If you have a garage refrigerator or freezer, but a temperature sensor with a remote display. After twice throwing out tons of spoiled food due to my refrigerator stopping, I bought remote temperature sensor for both my freezer and refrigerator. I have the display sitting at eye level on my indoor refrigerator so I can check at a glance if there are any issues. Some units come with an audible alarm. submitted by /u/thetruesuperge…

LPT Store Your Peanuts in the Freezer to Keep Them Fresh and Crunchy To keep peanuts fresh and crunchy for longer, store them in the freezer. This method prevents them from going rancid and maintains their flavor and texture. Just take out the amount you need and let them come to room temperature before eating. submitted by /u/Cold_Homework5294

LPT: when you’re healthy, make a few portions of a nutritious, easy to heat up meal like soup and put it in the freezer. If you come down with a cold or the flu at some point in the future, you can reach into your freezer and microwave a portion Or you could get a takeaway. But my idea is good if you want to think ahead and you need to save money. Btw I’ve got a cold at the moment submitted by /u/Hihihihihaha123

LPT: Remove bad ice taste from freezer Have you ever noticed how sometimes ice from your freezer has that weird aftertaste even though your water is clean and the filters are clean? I noticed that the freezer blows cold air directly at the ice maker and I realized it’s probably that air that’s making the ice taste funky. I put a small bag of activated charcoal on the top shelf of the…

LPT: take your turkey out of the freezer today Americans. 20 pound turkeys can take 4-5 days to fully thaw in the fridge, so if you need it for Thursday today’s the day to start the defrost. Edit: if I had a nickel for every time I got trolled for trying to be helpful… Y’all really need to find a new hobby. Note that I’m just going to block and report anyone who makes an obviously trolling comment. …

LPT: It’s time to get your turkey out of the freezer If you celebrate Thanksgiving in the USA, your 20+ pound turkey will take at least 6 days to thaw in the fridge, so put it in the fridge today. If it’s lighter than that, it’s not going to hurt anything to put it in there today as it will stay mostly frozen for a few days. Don’t get caught Thanksgiving morning with a frozen bird. submitted …

LPT: Install a temperature alarm on your freezer. When freezers fail, they do so silently. Meanwhile, all of your food is perishing without your knowledge. I just lost 200 bucks of food from this. If I had a temperature alarm, I would have been able to move everything to a different freezer in time. Make the investment. It will save you hundreds of bucks in the long run. submitted by /u/…

LPT: Put an ice cube in a ziplock bag in your freezer when you leave your home for a while. You could lose power for a few days while you are away and not know it because it came back on. If your ice cube has melted when you are back (could be frozen again but not in an ice cube shape), you know your food probably had time to spoil in your freezer. submitted by /u/LexLuteur

Make a Quick Peanut Butter Cup in Your Freezer I’ve been on a magic shell kick recently. Ever since I made this Sara Lee ice cream cake. I’ve been drizzling it on ice cream, obviously, but the fast-setting chocolate sauce has other uses. It will freeze onto any cold food, including fruit (like frozen bananas) and peanut butter.
