Thanks for all your suggestions! I always learn something and I'm also feel a little less crazy to learn I'm not the only one doing these things! :) I’m so glad to hear I’m not the only one with empty baggies &/or containers in the freezer & frig! :) I’ve got the cheese containers, just started the onion (but hadn’t double bagged, excellent suggestion!), lots of bulk items I put in smaller containers and of course the left over pancakes/waffles/etc for warming up in the toaster for quick breakfasts.

Thanks for sharing. The cheese grater is easy to clean by just soaking it in hot soapy water for a few minutes. I don't like store bought grated cheese because it's chalky (maybe from the tree additive??) and doesn't melt as well as fresh. Love your Facebook page, btw. Great ideas! Thanks for sharing.

I re-use the same bag for stale bread, but that's so smart to just leave it in the freezer if it happens to be empty. A lot less waste!

LOVED it! IF you plan on keeping your KA for any length of time, I highly recommend the shredder and slicer. Both came in exceedingly handy. The only thing I ever regretted was not getting the meat grinder. *shrug* :) Thanks for this great post. Makes me not feel like a crazy-lady... at least not when it comes to my baggies in the fridge/freezer.

I grabbed one today to put the rest of the English muffins in after breakfast. :) Silly frugal nature, lol. I have several stacked up on top of my dehydrator, next to my fridge right now!

(I've been reading your blog for a long time!) I'd love to try some of these ideas, but I just don't think my husband could handle finding an empty bag in the fridge. What kind of container do you store your sliced cheese in? We always slice it as we use it, but this could really save some time while I'm making lunch - the time I can always expect at least one kid to be flipping out.
