Have a chest freezer that is the best investment ever. We have memberships to Costco and SAMs so I can stock up on frozen foods and meats for much cheaper. Works out great- highly recommend it especially for growing families! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1007462 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 23:44:15 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1007462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we purchased a deep freezer this year mainly for my breastmilk because we were running out of room in our regular fridge, and we store tons of meat and other things in there now too. It's so nice being able to buy meat in bulk for cheap!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006987 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 19:20:07 +0000 Andrea 1006987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, in the garage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006846 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 17:56:29 +0000 immabeetoo 1006846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! bought a deep freeze to take advantage of my inlaws farm raised beef :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006711 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 16:54:45 +0000 MapleMoose 1006711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just bought one today! Looking forward to starting on my freezer meals before beb comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006671 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 16:24:05 +0000 regberadaisy 1006671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope but we have a second fridge in the basement that the precious owners left behind. It has a decent size freezer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006662 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 16:20:47 +0000 lavender 1006662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, just traded our small chest freezer for an upright one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006647 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 16:15:14 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1006647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two chest freezers. One in the house (ours) and one in the garage (ILs but they have never gotten it out of the garage, so we are using it). The one in the garage has a lot of miscellanea from the ILs that I haven't bothered to sort through and should, and some meat from a pig we had processed last year. We do use them, mostly because we prefer to buy a whole pig/half a cow and the like and have them processed rather than get it bit by bit at the grocery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006632 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 15:53:32 +0000 MsMamaBear 1006632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I LOVE it! I coupon, so I stock up when there is a sale on frozen veggies and meat too. It's an upright one in the garage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006492 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 13:52:05 +0000 MrsF 1006492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're renting right now so it wouldn't really make sense. I definitely want one when we buy a house though. I feel like I could save so much money buy buying in bulk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006489 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 13:50:39 +0000 looch 1006489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not right now. I want a generator first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006386 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 12:52:53 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1006386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Actually we have two refrigerators with top freezers, one in the kitchen, one in the basement. But we also have a medium-sized chest freezer in the basement as well. And I'm on the hunt for a second chest or upright freezer before deer season, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006376 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 12:43:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1006376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and I love it. We even got an upright one! Even better we got it from a friend for $80 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006374 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 12:41:46 +0000 tysonja 1006374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we don't have one either but one day i would love to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006357 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 12:29:38 +0000 mrskc 1006357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! We just bought one a few weeks ago and it's in the garage. My breastmilk was overtaking our freezer and now we have lots of room for extra food too. Do you have a patio you could put it on? I think some people keep their chest freezers outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006350 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 12:27:33 +0000 runsyellowlites 1006350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we did. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006349 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 12:26:12 +0000 filly 1006349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was producing / freezing a lot of milk for my g/g twins that we had to purchase a deep freezer when they were 8 weeks. </p> <p>we bought a small chest freezer off craigslist and its in our garage. now that all the milk has been used we over buy meat / fish and misc items from Costco and have a place to store it. its been pretty handy!</p> <p>do you have a laundry room it could fit in? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006279 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 11:15:04 +0000 travellingbee 1006279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a second fridge/freezer in the laundry room.

We bought a freezer CSA last year and had to throw out so much because it just wouldn't fit. I felt so bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-second-freezer#post-1006123 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 09:58:30 +0000 nana87 1006123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and ours is tiny!
