or may not find all that helpful.

When I had a similar problem, along with finding my favorite ice cream on sale every few months, some frozen veggies, pizza etc, on sale at various times, and the vast amounts of stuff I got from farm stands...

I bought another freezer. K-Mart had chest freezers on sale a few years ago and I got the next to smallest one for maybe 150 bucks. Worked like a charm and doesn't use that much electricity. What I save by buying only the sales and avoiding rot and waste more than pays for the freezer and the small amount of juice to run it.

(I never run out of ice, either)
