The polystyrene will insulate the area it fills making less room for heat transfer by convection, hence less energy will be used to maintain the temperature.

However I would use plastic containers of drinking water, instead thus making it more economical!

Why does a new freezer have to be switched on for 12 hours before putting any food in it?

The reason that a new freezer has to be switched on for 12 hours before putting any food in it is so that the freezer will have time to get to the proper temperature for food storage. The freezer is too warm when it is first turned on, and food put in would likely spoil.
