One of the best ways to stretch your grocery dollar is to purchase a freezer so you can buy food in bulk quantities or on sale.

Do you know the best ways to make sure a freezer is the best one for your use?

Where are you going to put the freezer? A freezer inside your kitchen or pantry should match the other appliances in the house, while a freezer kept in the garage can be any finish.

What size freezer are you going to get? Measure the size of the space you have. When you’re shopping, take these measurements along with you and measure the freezers you’re considering. Make sure you include any coils on the backside of the unit in the measurement.

What style freezer are you going to purchase? There are two basic styles – chest freezer and uprights. No matter what style you choose, make sure that you have enough room to fully open the door. Make sure there’s enough room above a chest style freezer – don’t install a shelf or cabinet above it until you’re certain how much clearance the top requires. If it’s an upright, make sure you can easily open and close the door without interference.

Which freezer will work well with the items you purchase? If your family consumes frozen pizzas on a regular basis, bring an empty Pizza box with you to make sure you can get the pizzas in and out easily. Ease of use is important to keep your food stock rotated.

Do your research on any brand you are considering. Spend some time on the internet comparing the pros and cons of the freezers you’re considering. You’ll be able to compare prices and values easily.

If you’ve decided on a garage freezer, there are some special considerations. First, you may be able to save money by purchasing a unit from a dealer’s scratched, dented and out dated inventory. Make sure though, that the unit does come with a warranty. Second, make sure you have enough room to open the freezer door, even when the car is in the garage. If temperatures in your climate drop below freezing on a consistent basis in the winter, put your freezer in a warm corner of your garage.

Buying and using a freezer is one of the best ways to help stretch your food budget. Getting the best freezer for your needs will help stretch the budget even more.
