Just me and my husband at home now. We buy 1/4 of beef every 6months and just bought 1/2 hog. Knowing where your meat comes from for us is a game changer . Always support local farmers.
Those hard sided grociery containters with the handles work really well in these deep freezers and take up less room than those milk crates and way easier to move them around to get to what is below
I use shopping tote bags with handles in the deep freezer. Makes it easier for me ! And a grab stick to reach the bottom. Also have a grab stick for the washing machine, to short to reach the bottom of it too😅
I have two freezers and I find it necessary to keep written lists of what is in each freezer. If I don't do that I'll forget what's in there or what is where in which freezer.
I’m thinking once I buy a house for my kids and I, that I will buy a 1/2 cow and a pig. We rent right now. No place to put another deep freeze. We have an upright 7 cubic foot and a chest freezer 7 cubic foot. When we have room for a bigger one, I plan to stock us up.
Interesting! I never knew that it comes all portioned out if you buy a half. It’s well worth it. I assume I would have to look into local farmers if I want some, right?
Do you buy your meat in bulk?? What else are you doing to save money on groceries right now?!

Local farmers or a lot of butcher shops sell large portions of meat. It’s a large expense up front but cost saving in the end!
