Years ago I bought a small freezer and stocked it with sale price meat for this very reason. Worked great for a while until the wife started buying frozen dinners, hotpockets, etc, “to have on hand for the kids” Now both freezers are full of this crap! And the wife says there is always meat/fish/poultry on sale so it’s not necessary. D’oh!
Time to plug in my wattsaver to see exactly how much this costs to run.
