I have found living where I do (Central Va) that I do have to keep one thing in mind when I run across these great food deals....we are subject to hurricanes and ice storms here, and hence power outages. This freezer has kept us eating well during Hurricane Isabelle (Power was out for over a week) but we also had to throw away everything afterwards. I've learned to only try to keep enough on hand for about 6 months at the most, and most of what is in my freezer isn't meat, it's frozen veggies. We do have meat in there, don't get me wrong. But with only 2 of us I can't go through it like I should and I was throwing way too much of it away after power-outage grilling festivals. It's a lot easier afterwards for us, and a lot less painful with me keeping that in mind.
