We have a chest freezer, but it sucks for anything but bulk meat, dead ducks and deer heads! So I've been eyeballing upright freezers for a while to add to the collection. With us cooking much more at home, meal prep and just the amount of food we have on had has expanded tremendously. We simply need more freezer room. I've been eyeballing a 20.6 cu ft Kenmore unit at Sears for a while now. Original MSRP was $800+. Just picked it up for under $500. Very happy and can't wait to fill it up! I budgeted $650, so I'm applying the extra coin towards the vacuum sealer/meat grinder budget. Slowly but surely I'm getting what I need to feed a family!!!
