Your freezer will run more with too much empty space to keep cold, just put some empty boxes
to fill large spaces for an easy fix.

I wouldn't think that empty boxes would help at all. Frozen mass keeps the temps more even and helps the freezer run less often. We use frozen water bottles to fill in the empty spots.

Don't toss that celery base! Did you know you can use it to re-grow a new bunch of celery?

Just stand the base in a small dish of water for a week or so until new leaves appear in the center. The leaves will be yellow at first, and once they really emerge and turn green, you can plant the celery in the ground or in a pot.
