A couple of weeks ago Eric and I bought a chest freezer. We've been wanting one for awhile, for various reasons. The biggest being that none of the refrigerators that come with our apartments have spacious freezers, and we more than occasionally run into space issues. Which leads us to not buy much frozen food, which in turn leads us to have difficulty planning ahead for meals because we don't keep that much food in the house. Also, we want to buy a cow, or rather, a 1/4 of a cow, because we love red meat. Sorry to my vegetarian/vegan readers, but we love meat. So we've been wanting a chest freezer for awhile. Every year at Cub they have a deal in the late winter where if you buy a chest freezer you get an equal amount of free food (mostly frozen, but not all). It's pretty awesome, even if we don't eat some of the food that we got and probably wouldn't buy a lot of it otherwise. But it was nice to try new stuff. Except for the lasagna...
Anyway, we put most of the food from our freezer into the chest freezer, and we've been planning on stocking up on meat and other frozen foods when there are good deals. I kindof figured we'd at least partially fill up the freezer, but as of right now the only food that is in it is the rest of the free stuff that we haven't eaten yet, plus 1/2 a pack of sausage, and a loaf of bread. Awww. The beef is probably not in our near future, unfortunately, but seriously, nothing else that is actually feasible to purchase has been added either. We are definitely due for some grocery shopping.
I think chicken is on sale this week...
Umm... ice cream. Hello!
