It started as a mini-brag

No worries, I wouldn't be thinking about asking at that time either!!
Please let me know if you find out anything else - I'll try to get my act together and contact the store managers too :)

congrats!!

I think it'll be good for bread, buns, bagels, pasta, etc. I make my own chicken stock too (and have several carcasses in the freezer I have to use up) so that usually takes up some space.

Pics please!!!!

Wow! What a great brag! That is awesome!

(But I won't lie, I'm jealous. ;) )

Congrats on the win! Now the fun of stocking up!

Congrats on the freezer! It was nice of the cashier to enter you anyways.

As requested

This is the view of that corner of the kitchen. The new freezer is on the left, old freezer (and I mean OLD. Like 30+ years old but it works really well) on the right.

This is the wine cooler full of Oasis juice and cheese strings. Yes, that is a Margaritaville margarita maker on top. Yes, it got used this past weekend. A lot. ;)

On the right, you can see a bunch of ziploc bags. That's pumpkin puree from our jack 'o lanterns last year. I ended up with 24 cups of puree and 18 cups of roasted slices (there are a bunch more in my fridge freezer).

If anyone local wants pumpkin puree, let me know :) Would prefer trading for something like frozen blueberries or raspberries or strawberries :>

And the piece de resistance: a toddler-proof (for now) garbage can:

On the other end of the counter is a touch screen computer; I use it for displaying recipes when I'm cooking and it's also a toddler entertainment unit. She likes to be in the kitchen when we're in there and she can watch videos on it. It has a cordless mouse and keyboard which is tucked in behind:

Yes, that is a bottle of rye (Crown Black, natch) and a bottle of vodka sitting next to it. I have a toddler. ;)

Next to it on a wooden kitchen trolley (because we have NO counter space which drives me crazy sometimes) is a fax/scanner/photocopier/printer machine that Darren got for free from work. They were getting rid of it because the paper feeder was jamming occasionally (yes, really). For our purposes, it's perfect. It came with two extra drums and two extra toner cartridges:

Hurray. Congrats on the deals and the FREEZER!!
