Does the scotch tape hold up well in the freezer? The dymo taype sure doesn't. But that's a different thing altogether. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org> On Behalf Of Helen Whitehead via Cookinginthedark Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2020 6:30 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Helen Whitehead <hwhiteh...@cogeco.ca> Subject: Re: [CnD] Labeling Decisions I do the same thing. I use junk mail, to label meat, that I'd bought at the store, then I just use Scotch tape for sticking the label on. I write what kind of meat it is, and the date I purchased it. this way, I can organize my upright freezer, and use the older meat first, so the newer packages get put at the back. I have different meats on different shelves.
