Since I know you all would understand better than anyone else, (other than my husband who is the one who has had to help me cram everything into our other freezer every week) I just had to share with you that I finally got a freezer! If you’ve taken one of my coupon classes you may know that I’ve been waiting for one for a long time. Well, God finally directed us to one on craigslist that was the perfect price and perfect size. I’m am so excited…it is almost brand new and works great.
We spent half the day Sunday picking it up and making room for it in our basement and bam, it fit right in! No more playing tetris every time I need to check what meat we have on hand for the weekly grocery list! Hey, I could even try once a month cooking now if I really wanted to!
Anyway, I will stop rambling now. I just had to share! 🙂

Congratulation, Jennie. It is so awesome to have that extra freezer space. There are just two of us and I keep it full somehow! 🙂 Also, I love "anonymous" comment above about the eraser board. Great idea!

I keep a dry erase marker board on my chest freezer. I then have a list that I can update as I use the items. This makes is a lot easier to know what is in there vs. having to dig thru everything!

Yay for you!! My hubby is thinking we should replace our 2nd fridge in the garage with a chest freezer instead.
Do you have way more freezer items than fridge? We could probably freeze some of the stuff we have in the extra fridge.
Come try out OAMC cooking sometime…I bet we could take a guest in my group! 🙂 Gotta love meals already in your freezer.

That is so exciting! We have a stand up on that looks like a fridge. I love it! I did a little bulk cooking last month and it has really helped with cutting down on the eating out. Enjoy your new toy ;D

OMG – I don't know how you did it without one! We have two refrigerators and an upright freezer. All are always full (can you tell I'm raising two boys???). Congrats on the great find!

Congrats! We had to buy a bigger one last year after we bought half a cow from a local farmer. The beef filled up the small freezer and we didn't have room for anything else. Just make sure to have a discussion with the kiddos about NOT UNPLUGGING THE FREEZER!
Love your site!

Woohoo for you. I want one so bad. Hopefully the right one will come along.

Congratulations!! We have a small freezer in out garage. I never appreciated it until I started couponing. Now, I would love a bigger one. You deserve this!! Thanks for helping us save so much money!

Congrats!! I understand the tetris game you play I play it too. I am jealous we have to move in order to get a deep freezer and second fridge. I can't wait to end the tetris game. Hopefully next year.

THAT is exciting!! We have 2 refrigerators and a chest freezer and I don't know how we'd do without them all. It helps sooo much. Congrats!!
