Many items, if approaching expiration date and not previously frozen, can be frozen to extend life. For example, if you have four bottles of going clear and you know you aren’t going to be able to use them in the allotted window, you could freeze three and pull as needed. You can also freeze in smaller, usable quantities. Like you could split a 2 quart jug of going clear into 2, 1 quart tubs so that you can pull one at a time. Just make sure to label with the original date and the freeze date (and later, the defrost date).
Also, if you notice food/drink spoiling earlier than expected, it could be due to a fridge not staying cold enough or problems with transport, so make note of this and let Ava know so we can get to the root cause.
