Having a freezer is great! This week I found lots of different cuts

of meat on sale, so I told my husband I would need more than the usual

grocery budget. But then I’ll have a month or so of only having to

buy fresh milk, produce, bread, etc. I still use my freezer a lot to

take advantage of sales, even though most of our kids are grown up and

no longer live at home. We also have a neighbor who hunts, so we let

him use part of our freezer when he has a surplus, and of course he

gives us some venison. Sue
