I remember my grandmother commenting how she would like to have enough that she didn't have to fix and eat frozen stuff. I LOVED the frozen hotdogs she used to give me.

Dad had my Uncle Ralph fed calves he bought at auction for us and we would split it with my uncle Jack. We would get a side of beef at a time and put it in the freezer. Dad said it cost $1.00 a lbs. all total and it was better beef.

After we moved to our current house my Dad had passed and we only had a couple of packages of fruit and a couple of turkeys in the freezer. It was full of packages of ice to keep the electric bill down. When I sold it, our electric bill went down $20 a month. It was my Grandmothers freezer I remember from when I was 3 so it was VERY old. I also remember always having to defrost it, which meant unplugging it, let it stand with the door open, and then chip the packages of food out with an ice pick. We did have indoor plumbing.
