Basically, I do a complete inventory in early June. I take EVERYTHING out of the freezer, putting like items in baskets, listing how much there is of each item and the date (EVERY item is labeled and dated), tossing old stuff, and putting it all back in as sorted.
Sometimes if I have the energy, I clean the freezer while empty. If I plan to do that, I sort into our many coolers.
Then, as the freezer gets messy, several months later, I go through and sort again and put back sorted.
The meat freezers don't get so mess as the vegetable/fruit/dairy one does.
