I too have one of those and it actually came from my Grandma. I think we paid her $20 for it. It's a big old clunker with the thick walls. We've had it for at least 4 years and it keeps chugging away. If only they'd still make things to last that way!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724522027116910155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941253261489920628.post-41828293760147589802009-07-21T00:36:02.654-04:002009-07-21T00:36:02.654-04:00That is interesting.

I looked up chest freezers and chose the most inefficient, largest one and it used maybe $38/year in electricity. <br /><br />We have an old monster of a freezer too and I know it saves us at least the $38 to run it, in time running to the store if nothing else. :)<br /><br />I like your repackaging of cheese. I haven't done that.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05822296927161862166noreply@blogger.com
