krissi, I hear you on being low on funds. You may want to consider purchasing empty capsules and doing your own garlic capsules. They cost about 5 or 6 dollars for about 300 of them and are very easy to make.
They are very convenient because you can purchase Turmeric by the bag for about 4 dollars and make a ton of capsules with it. You can also make your own green tea capsules or you can put a capsule within a capsule so that it survives the stomach acid better (think probiotics). I was using them to split my Rifampin capsules in half. It is hard to split capsules otherwise.
As far as the freezer damaging the garlic, it shouldn't affect the potency of the garlic itself. You will however will still smell stinky because garlic comes out of your pores as you sweat so freezing is not doing much for you. As for the bad breath, when you eat the garlic, the heat from the friction of chewing, the body heat and the stomach acid will thaw the garlic by the time it hits the stomach and you will probably still have bad breath.
