This is an idea you might want to keep in mind for if/when electricty prices go up severely. Or, if you know you’ll be living off grid on your own power.

A chest freezer is an extremely efficient way to store frozen goods. Aside from how they are manufactuirng applicance that are much more effiicinet, the basic desing has energy savings. The opening is on top and the cold stays in at the bottom when you open it.

Regular front door fridges and freezers lose a ton of coolness (and energy) when you open the door as the cold slips out the bottom. It does feel nice if you have bare feet on a hot day, but it is a waste of energy :)

This was shot at my last rental which had zero furnishings or appliances.

Since i didn’t want to buy a new fridge because I knew I would be moving again soon, I setup this freezer I had to be a fridge. It works by setting up a simple thermostat device to control the temperatures.
