"New" Freezer

Our neighbor was cleaning out a freezer yesterday afternoon. It was their parents, they were storing it, but no one in their family wanted it, and it was taking a lot of space. (Something like 20 cubic feet...) Somehow Tara heard they were looking to sell it and got excited. She has been asking for a big freezer for about 4 years now. This is often exasperated when the store has a sale like {40 pounds of chicken for $25}, {Buy this gigantic case of chicken nuggets for $15.99}, or {1 pound of frozen vegetables - $0.50}. The problem with these kinds of sales is that often they come around when we have 4 half eaten cartons of ice cream in our freezer, and no room for 13 chickens. (How much does the average chicken weigh? 4 pounds, give or take.) Not so anymore, we bought it off them for $50.
It's a little beat up, but it's one of those old ones that (hopefully) run for 75 years without a 2nd thought. I plan to leave a thing of water, an otter pop, and an ice cube in it for a little while to make sure it works right. We set it in the shed, the freezer has a lock, but no key. I figured the shed was a good place to keep children out of the thing, and the food in.

Anyway, next time we are at the store, I won't have to worry that all the frozen stuff we just bought won't fit. TV dinners - $0.75? No problem. Ice? Sure thing. Chicken? Yes.

Someone wants to give us Elk, Deer, or Lamb? I'll take it. (Soon is the time that people have to start giving away what remains of last year's kill so that they have room for this year's potential kill...)
