Advice on buying an extra freezer

[Guest]

Definitely get an upright!! With the chest freezers you wind up standing on

you head trying to get to the items on the bottom and thusly you tend to not

use the stuff on the bottom. JMHO (my mom has a had a chest since I lived

at home and that happened to us. I have an upright, frost free and I LOVE

it!! Mine has 2 wire drawers on the bottom to store loose small items in.

It also has door shelves. I can’t remember off the top of my head but I

believe it is a Fridigidaire. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of

alarms and such. It does vacuum seal itself when you close the door so it

has a good tight seal. Saves food and energy! 🙂 You can also lock the

door. I guess that is a good feature if you put it on the back porch to

keep kids and thieves out?

I mostly use mine to bulk buy. I buy frozen veggies on sale, and gallons of

milk when it goes on a good sale. I don’t do much OAMC but it is nice to

have that space to put extra portions in when I make double batches of

whatever. I also store my extra baking supplies in there like flour, nuts

and candy/chocolate chips. I have found the prepackaged shredded cheese

freezes and thaws well. I also like having a manageable fridge freezer. I

pull in from the big freezer the items I’ll need for the weeks meals to keep

them handy. This just keeps my “inside” freezer nice and clean. 🙂

HTH,
