We picked up a chest freezer yesterday and it’s so much more freezer space! Just need to find more things to fill it with now. However, we’re in the position now that we have two fridge/freezers + chest freezer.. not sure if we should get rid of one or both and a get a vertical fridge only. But it’s kinda nice having all the extra space as we tend to do a big lot of shopping all at once and end up over packing the fridge/freezers

My parents have got three fridge/freezers (two in the garage) and it's amazing how they manage to always have them bursting at the seams lol 😂

Edit: we've "only" got two and feel we need another lol. It's the freezer space that gets us.

That's actually how we ended up with two of them. Our first one was a hand-me-down that was a little too small for us - we packed it so tight the whole defrost system froze over and it stopped cooling the fridge. We bought a new one and after defrosting the old one completely it was running fine again so we just left it in the garage.

But yeah the freezer space is always the limiting factor after a big shop. Now I feel a bit more comfortable buying more bulk items we can freeze 😁

Yeah definitely great to have that extra space :)

Though our second one is on the ground floor, and our kitchen is up on the floor above - so I find myself not really using the bottom one too much, and/or forgetting whats in the one downstairs.
