Having a way to store food is essential for saving money and reducing food waste. Frozen foods don’t spoil quickly, which makes freezing a great option for food storage. You can cook large meals and freeze them into serving-size containers or freeze leftovers so that you don’t have to worry about eating them within a few days. You just need ample freezer space.
Most refrigerators, unfortunately, have somewhat limited freezer sections, so a standalone home freezer can make a big difference. With the space provided by a separate freezer, you can store more and save money by buying frozen foods in bulk or stocking up when there is a sale. This means a chest freezer or upright freezer is a wise choice for many households.
If you need to organize many smaller items, like frozen pizzas and single-serving meals, an upright freezer with plenty of flexible shelving can provide the perfect food storage arrangement. Alternatively, if you want to freeze large or bulky goods—the Thanksgiving turkey, meat from hunting or a whole salmon from a fishing trip—you will probably want to shop for a chest freezer. Since the garage is a popular place to install these home freezers, there are many garage-ready freezers available.
