you can freeze garlic and it works just fine. that is what we do. I'll buy a few things of garlic and peel it all and then throw it in a tuperware container in the freezer. then when i want some i just pop a few out and use them.

By storing garlic properly, the taste and texture is preserved.
The first thought for many people is to store garlic bulbs in the crisper of the refrigerator or in the freezer. The cold temperature spoils the taste as well as the texture of the garlic cloves.
Garlic is best stored in a cool, dry place. When I come home from the supermarket, I immediately take the garlic bulbs and place them in an airtight container or plastic bag. I then store them in a cabinet, ensuring a cool dark environment.

Maybe, but it's not going to be fresh after you have frozen it

You can freeze garlic but you also can chop it and put in in some olive oil and use what you want. I have some garlic peeled in a jar in the frig. It is just lose in a jar and I have had it for a few weeks. I used some tonight and it is fine.
