Awesome! I don't even know how I lived before my freezer.

I agree bought mine about 6-7 yeard ago and i love it it's great for when the really good sales are on the only problem is i've run out of room in mine

It's a great investment, tasha. Remember, though, except for the tomatoes, which can be frozen as is - the majority of vegetables need to be blanched, or cooked a bit, before they are frozen.

Biggest tip I can give you - DATE anything you are freezing, then you aren't guessing later!

Congrats on getting your freezer! - They are so helpful especially when you see a great deal. My Hubbie always scours the meat shelves for 1/2 off deals and we then freeze them and use later. You've got the right idea about freezing what's available locally - that's such a good idea! I've been thinking that we need a second one but we have no basement and it would have to go in the shed. I don't know about the wisdom of that.
I was at RCSS yesterday and they had a small freezer on sale - very small - but I think it was only $144.00. - could fit in a closet if you double up on clothes and hang them high.

That is great! I just got a freezer off Freecycle. I posted asking for one and someone responded. It's in pretty rough shape but it will get me by until I can save up to purchase one. Enjoy your shiny new freezer!

Yay for you...great investment with the freezer...you love stashing all the savings in there!

Awesome deal for you! You can save a bunch by buying meat etc when its on sale (ie, NF had boneless chickhen breasts on for 1/2 price) I stocked up my fridge freezer, lol
Years ago I bought a small used one at garage sale (good condition) for $100 bucks & it lasted me almost 10yrs! Poor thing gave out last year tho! Now I store extra stuff at mom's or my neighbours, until I can get a good deal!
Not much room in my fridge freezer as I have boxes of Tenderflake pie/tarts shells for my baking, LOL

A freezer is definitely on my list of things I want to have one day when I am in a house. I only have the freezer above my refrigerator... I am not married and don't have kids, but it is a pain when stuff goes on sale for an incredible price and you have to pass on it because you don't have the space to put it

It is nice to have a freezer. I have to borrow my sister's but it helps me soooo much. I get bread when it is cheap. I also got a great deal on strawberries. I froze soooo many to make smoothies. They are the best.

I love my freezer too it`s so packed with good deals (10 loaves of almost free bread, tons of frozen fruit, veggies, meat sales, etc)
