Question
For those of us that only have 1 fridge/freezer, can we double bag chametz that we don’t want to throw away and sell it, but leave it double bagged in a separate area of the fridge/freezer?

Your question, reached my "desk" only today, long after you question needed to be answered, and if you live abroad you will only see the answer tomorrow. Nonetheless, I will answer the question for future reference for you and for other readers..
The question is not having one freezer or two, though it surely makes things convenient.
Once the Chametz is sold, if needed you may keep it in your freezer, double bagged or otherwise having made the chametz distinct so that it not be accidentally opened during Pessach.
