We have lots of power outages where we’re at, and it’s always during the summer. So I finally froze enough water in half gallon plastic jugs and they line my sides and bottom of my chest freezer. It has saved me during longer power outages more times than I can count.
What a great video! Didn’t know information about side by freezer explained so many things I always wondered about. Just inventoried my canning products, more than I thought I had. I’m in a small apartment & had them scattered all around I emptied a closet installed shelves so now they are all in one place Pantry in kitchen is extremely deep & things get lot in the back so I put bins or pool noodles in the back to keep things up front . Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
I've been inventoring my pantry and thank you for sharing the things that work better in the freezer verses pantry Iove the nuts and choc chips in the freezer in 1 cup servings all good stuff
I have Lost around 60 Cubic Feet of Frozen, over the last 4 years! Stramge Events. Circuits Blown, Plumbers Unplugging Freezer without my knowing, etc etc. 😢 I got Teed Off! I bought an Upright for Kitchen that matches appliances. Daughter was SO excited! Didnt take long for her to fill it!! 😂 AND? Within 2 weeks? ALL the food was Thawed!!😢 Freak accident again! She also wont listen, regarding "Dont Pack Top Shelf! The reat of food will thaw and freezer tun too much!" So. Since THAT idea sucks? And since my old 28CF freezer is ready to croak? I ordered a solid steel 18Cubic Chest. That is in my porch. The 12 Cubic in garage was blown by the short. I replaced that with a Used 14cubic chest. So at this moment i AM running 4 freezers!! I was very upset to know how ALL the cold air rushes OUT, when you open the upright freezer! I moved back into canning! I have crippled leg, where sometimes i cant Stand. Cooking and Canning IS a Problem! I avoid it like a plague! So i make pots of chili, soup, stew, then Can it for later, when my leg is too hurt. Been a blessing! But since i keep losing all the freezers? And since any Electric Outage is a threat? Best work on Canning! I also have now, the vaccum jars gadget, so i can Seal Dry Goods. I have a vaccum bag sealer i bought 25 YEARS ago! It sits WAY up in cupboard in its box! Why? No plastic bag rolls! So i just ordered some! 😅 My daughter just bought a fancy Air Fyer. Turns out it has a Dehydration Mode!! You know i AM hoing to have to Try it!! And i just ordered Cases of Food Containers! I plan on making my own frozen dinners! I Pay $12 and $14 EACH, for these dinners! Handy, but if i have containers, i can easily Put up Leftovers! I ordered Cases of Deli Containers too, for Freezer Storage. I am trying to think of ALL the missing things, so i am Not Hindered in my life. I have been using weeds and flowers to make Tinctures etc, plus Eat or make Syrups. Make my own Vibegars. Buy in Bulk. Every penny pinching thing possible! Another thing is? Reuse! All the Older Gens (i am 65 this year), Reused AND Repurosed! I save pie tins, coffee cans, jars, foil, plastic containers, scraps of soap, oil bottles, etc. Loads of ways to be efficient!
I understand, totally. I started canning in September of 2023 and I have 2 six foot racks full of canned items, mostly meat and I can in pints because I live alone with my dog. Between that and my refrigerator freezer, I have enough to feed 15 people for 5 months. My freezer so full I can't freeze any leftovers. I am not buying any more meat until I start eating down what I have. I also need to inventory what I have, but it's so daunting that I'll have to wait until my son comes in November to help me. I worry about the weight of the canned food because I live in a mobile home and all those jars are in 1/ 2 of the guest bedroom closet... Sorry I'm rambling.
I'm constantly reevaluating whether my food storage is in the cabinet, closet, shelves, freezer, and canning. The price of food has put me on a mission to use and not waste. I grow so much of my husband and my food. Canning is so important to me. I have 2 upright freezers. One contains all of my garden seeds because I am a seed hoarder.

Interesting discussion on fridge freezers vs deep freezers. In the next year, I’m hoping to add a deep freezer to my home.
