According to Daily Mail, there are two ways that you can keep your eggs in the freezer. However, they can't be stored with their shells as there is a big chance they might blow off.
Helen White of the campaign "Love Food Hate Waste" gave points on how to save your eggs for the freezer. First, divide the yolks from the whites and place in separate containers or second, beat the eggs and put in a plastic tub.
2. Cheese
Unfortunately, not every cheese can be stored in the freezer but, the hard ones are possible. The likes of cream cheese and other soft cheeses cannot be frozen as it will result to strange texture and watery.
However, the hard kinds of cheese can be grated and put in a bag and placed inside the freezer. Hence, stored cheese can be used at a later date and last longer.

Butter has the easiest procedure to be stored in the freezer. All you have to do is cut butter into cubes or just simply put the whole block and grate whenever you need it.
5. Wine and Coffee
If there's an instance that you can't consume your glass of wine, all you have to do is pour it your ice cube and simply placed it in the freezer and use it later. You can also do the same thing with coffee, put into the cube tray, set in the freezer and you can have your iced coffee afterwards.
