I prefer the upright because it is easier to get into and to see what you have.
In a chest things on the bottom tend to stay there and then you have wasted the
money you were trying to save since you aren’t using what you bought. I also
have a frost free one and would not want one that isn’t. I love my freezer and
I feel it and my food saver vacuum sealer save us so much money!!

Subject: Budget101.com : Advice on buying an extra freezer
In order to reduce our food budget, we are going to buy a freezer for
our basement. We figured if we saved $150-200 a month in food by
buying in bulk, making ahead, taking advantage of sales,and planning
ahead, we’d recoup that money in only 1-2 months.
Does anyone have any recommendations for freezers? Upright vs. chest?
Brands to choose/stay away from? Does it pay to get the frost-free
feature?
Thanks in advance!
