Between the good plastic wrap and the ziplock freezer bag, they are protected well. I try to use them up within 2 months, so they aren't in the freezer too long.
I have a food saver, but it's a hassle to get it from the basement every time I want to freeze something. When we buy 15 pounds of blueberries in the spring, I use it.

I'm still surprised that you don't need paper, for prophylactically preventing the rime. I'm going to see if I can score some of that wrap you use. I am not able to wrap sans the paper, and when I've tried using paper wrapped with plastic, the vapor-barrier doesn't work well enough. Hmph.

For example we keep our cheeses in those bags and reseal after each use.

I use ours for small things all thetime; I buy my cheddar and other "better" cheeses in wheels and I live and die with the food saver for keeping those wheels, cut into smaller chunks.
How did you end up liking the Quartz countertops? I'm still dithering about what I want for my kitchen counters. With the shades in my kitchen/greatroom area I would almost be better off, color-wise, with usina a very boring dark brown granite, but...man. Everybody and their brother has that shade and it piques my inner individualist, lol.
