The supermarkets in Asia all sell kitchen storage bags (not ziplock or any other closure) that are simply thin plastic. The come in all sizes and are made for food. I have to believe these are sold in the US too. They are just too convenient. As KK says, fill 'em up, use a rubber band to close them (the ones we buy come with a little package of really thin rubber bands perfect for the job,) flatten them out, and freeze. In my case, we don't flatten them. We round them. That way they fit into a large soup bowl for microwaving, keeping everything a lot neater. These bags are dirt cheap so you don't mind that they are disposable, and they take up a LOT less room in the freezer than the Rubbermaid canisters.
If you buy take-away foods in rural S.E. Asia, it usually comes in these bags, as too all foods bought from street vendors. Even soda! A bag of Mountain Dew, anyone?
