Here I thought it was just my wife. She can't resist sales at store. Keep telling her it's just the 2 of us now.... we've got a chest freezer that's full and hasn't been touched in years. It's all junk now.

Got my freezer cleaned out. Son unplugged it when we plucked chickens and forgot to plug it back in. Too bad. I really appreciate having the extra freezing space, but don't know if I'll ever get it filled again.

Told kids I'd stack bags of ice to take up space and put harvested things on top so it will be effecient even if there's not much food inside for a while.

Lost a lot of good eats by the time I knew the power wasn't on. Sigh! On the other hand, like seedcorn's, there were things long forgotten and best tossed towards the bottom of the unit.

Well @seedcorn it was not like I shopped and hoarded food. Lots of garden produce and leftovers. Never wanting things to go to waste they went into freezer where they would get buried and forgotten. oops.
