I also freeze milk and butter. and buy all my meat once a month in the large family packages and divide it up. It saves alot of time and money as long as I remember to take it out soon enough for it to thaw. Last month my food bill for asingle male was only $103.44!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075738812838303917.post-63264151847905188642011-04-22T09:57:13.817-04:002011-04-22T09:57:13.817-04:00Great tips on using a small freezer!
We're a ...Great tips on using a small freezer!<br /><br />We're a family of 7 with a huge vegetable garden. We had one 20+ cubic foot freezer for the longest time and just added another one last year. We have the second off right now waiting for the harvest to start. Since we go through 5 gallons of milk each week, I also like to keep my milk in the freezer to free up fridge space.Barb @ A Life in Balancehttp://alifeinbalance.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075738812838303917.post-57783097579685149182011-04-22T08:29:32.061-04:002011-04-22T08:29:32.061-04:00We have a little chest freezer in the garage (here...We have a little chest freezer in the garage (here in New York). It cost less than $200 and is one of the best investments we've ever made. I love being able to buy extra meat, vegetables, etc. for my own 'non-extreme' stockpile. (I'm also drawn to that show, like I'm drawn to other shows about weird behavior. At least I don't have to change the channel like I do with other hoarder shows. Food stockpiles are clean.)<br />I don't think an efficient freezer should be affected by outside temperatures. Just don't make the mistake I did once (with an old regular fridge/freezer, before we got the little chest freezer)--forgetting to close the door in 95 degree weather! Yeah, that was a disaster.Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075738812838303917.post-41654056702361320312011-04-21T23:12:34.691-04:002011-04-21T23:12:34.691-04:00I love, love, love my small chest freezer.

I have to defrost it twice a year because of the moisture here though (and my teens keeping the door open too long). My parents bought it for me as a housewarming gift.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01823862479614209543noreply@blogger.com
