The Pros and Cons of Having an Extra Freezer

Pro:

You have room to freeze extra food so that you can buy a LOT of meat when it's on a really good sale and it will stay good in the freezer until you are ready to use it.

Con:

In fact, you have so much room that you think, "What? A 40 lb case of boneless, skinless chicken breast for only $1.60 per lb... yes, we'll take it... and yes, of course we have room for it, just throw it in the freezer... "

(7 days later)...

"Hey, Randy, can you get me a couple of chicken breasts out of the freezer? I'm going to make something with chicken tonight"... "Sure" says Randy...

well, of course we didn't think about the fact that we should probably separate the chicken before freezing it

Pro:

Promotes unplanned workouts, needed in order to chisel out needed chicken from 40 lb frozen chunk.

Another Pro:

You are forced to prepare 27 enchiladas at one time, made from the 10 lb chunk of chicken that we were able to chisel out of the 40 lb chunk.... meaning we now have about 5 meals ready-made.

Another Pro:

There is so much extra room that it can fit 27 pre-made enchiladas.

Con:

We may be getting sick of enchiladas. :)

I'm starting to think that from the list of Pros and Cons with having a freezer... the benefits out-weigh the costs... :)

We love our freezer! Thanks to Randy's mom for giving us this awesome Christmas gift. :)

Moral of the story:

Can't decide. :)
