How many of you load your film up when it still cold, and then place the reminder of the box back into freezer?
Never use to do it, because of fear of condensation, but we tried it the other day and it didn't seem to have any ill effects, on B&W ... Arista EDU 200.

Same here.
I was messing about with an old box of cut-sheet Endura paper the other day. Took it out of the fridge, opened up the box & bag and sure enough, condensation everywhere.

Wait for the temperature to stabilize, then open, take what you need and close package, the seal it inside a large freezer bag or a plastic jar.

Tupperware is best, but gets brittle in freezing temp, so that it well and it will well serve it's purpose.

Visit thrift shops, yard sales, church sales, you get the idea, and the price of this stuff with GOOD lids, should be pretty low.

I do both for chemicals and it works well.
