We had been wanting one FOREVER but just never felt it was the right time to spend money on one. However, as school grew nearer, our freezer in the fridge was busting at the seams--and I hadn't even started freezing meals for the school year yet. The future of our frozen goods was not looking too hot...catch that?! hehe...It's been a long week...
Anyhow, after some research, we discovered that Sears was having a sale on freezers that particular week....on top of that, their after-hours Friends and Family special was running that very evening so we would get an additional 15% off the sale price. We could get a new one for the price of a used one off of Craigslist--score! Amazingly enough, there wasn't a price difference between a chest freezer and upright freezer in the size range we were wanting so guess what...I was able to talk Justin into getting the upright one :-)
Check out our new baby:
Justin's pumped. He now has room for unlimited ice cream, french fries and frozen pizzas. It's his junk food haven! I'm excited because we finally have plenty of room for frozen casseroles, vegetables, tv dinners, BOGO cuts of meat AND there's even a drawer in the bottom for all the random stuff :-) Hopefully it will also save us money in the long run--I've already been able to freeze a bunch of odds and ends for an "Everything But The Kitchen Sink" soup later this winter. Before hand, they would have gotten thrown out to make room for the basic necessities each week. Needless to say, our excitement over a crazy deep freeze makes it pretty obvious that we're getting old and practical!
