These are some of the items you can and can't freeze - from cheese to veg and milk

Freezing food is a handy way of storing basic ingredients and leftovers in order to make them last that little bit longer.

Though the government has advised that there's no need to stockpile food, some shoppers are struggling to find what they need at the supermarket.

As such, freezing food is a great way to make sure what you do have lasts a little longer in case of temporarily empty supermarket shelves. 

While some foods can be frozen safely, others should be kept well away from the freezer - and you should follow certain rules to avoid food poisoning.
