Make Christmas string lights or other holiday string lights easy to locate when it’s time to put up your tree by storing them in plastic freezer bags. Go one step further and label the bag with a permanent marker to help identify the specific area you used the lights last year. Your string lights will stay protected from moisture and they will remain tangle free until you’re ready to use them again.

Fresh herbs don’t last long in the refrigerator. Instead of tossing them in the trash can freeze them instead. Grab an empty ice cube tray and fill each section 3/4s of the way full with chopped herbs. Add olive oil until it nearly reaches the top. When the time comes just toss a few herb cubes into your saucepan for quick and easy seasoning.
