Advice on buying an extra freezer

[Guest]

i have had both and i love my upright freezer. you dont have to take everything

out to see or get to the bottom. you can prepare trays of food for special

events and just slide them in. i would definatly go with the frost free version.

ours is not the frost free so once a month, when my reg. freezer is almost

empty, i take the stuff out of the upright and use a smaller size bristle brush,

kind of like the ones that you would use to scrub the floor with and brush out

the frost. total time take 20-30 min and the meat does not get affected because

it is not enough time to defrost. when we were going to get our freezer from the

store, the cost was crazy. the one we origanlly wanted was $800. you can get

them at used appliance or scratch and dent places for a much smaller price tag

and they work just a good. good luck, brandy

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!
