A chest freezer is a wonderful thing.
We don't just put meat in it. We also put bread, and frozen veg and fruit, frozen pastry (because I can't make pastry to save my life), ice cream... In fact, most of the meat lives in the freezer above the fridge. *g*
The best thing about the chest freezer is being able to buy several loaves of bread at a time and freeze some so it doesn't go moldy before we can eat it.
