Only one fridge, but I have an upright stand alone freezer in the garage.

PS, I think my brother has four. The main kitchen one, a small bar one, one downstairs in the kitchenette, and one out by the pool in his pool house. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a fifth one lurking somewhere...

One fridge in the kitchen, one in the basement. Plus a full upright freezer and a small chest freezer. And all are stock full to the brim, so if a famine hits, I am good!!!!

Yes.

The main big one in the kitchen and another full size one in the sun room for drinks. Both freezers are usually full. I did have a stand up freezer in the Dallas house but I left it because the new owner wanted it and I was happy not to pay for moving it. We have plans to get a new one but haven't yet.

We used to have two refrigerators--and three huge chest freezers. But now I have one fridge and one medium-size chest freezer, both full. :-)

I do have one upright freezer in my garage, it as the others with the fridges are full.

We have a chest freezer in the laundry room (quite handy as a folding table, lol) and a small fridge on the back porch for cold drinks and foods that need to be kept cold for entertaining. Of course, a R/F in the kitchen.

Besides food, I keep bird seed, flours, grains, etc., in the freezer.

I wouldn't want to be without the extra appliances.

I have a fridge in the kitchen and an upright freezer in the laundry room.

I have an FD refrigerator in the kitchen, and an upright freezer that just fits into a cubby in the hallway next to my laundry, freezer is full though. I left my 23 cu foot upright freezer in our basement when we moved, thinking new energy efficient and a little smaller was what I needed. I was wrong, 18 cu ft isn't big enough and I miss the space in the old. I'm making a lot better use of it having it on the same floor as my kitchen now though...

There is vintage GE side by side in the garage that belongs to a friend. (I have a lot of things here belonging to DH's divorcing friend) I had complained about it a little, I'd planned to buy something 'less rustic' and cheaper to run for out there. We are using it though, beer, wine, soft drinks, bottled water, extra ice and right now two hams in the freezer. I've moved 'the mens' things out of it and used it for extra space for buffet salads a few times too.

We gave our energy hog (3/4-size) upright freezer to hubby's sister when we moved to our new home and purchased a larger energy efficient side-by-side that had as much storage in the freezer as did the stand-alone freezer. The new refrigerator only uses about 7-cents worth of energy per day (when we tested it with a Kill-A-Watt Meter for over 500-hours).

With home food storage, we have more dry goods than freezer food - by design. We use a lot of freeze-dried food, and I also dehydrate frozen vegetables when I find them on sale so they take up very little space and can be stored in the food storage room instead of taking up freezer space.

Extra freezers/refrigerators are great places for all those bargains and cooking ahead, but often the amount of energy they use when in hot garages off-sets the amount of savings stored inside them. If there is a power outage, we can also run our refrigerator with a solar-powered back-up generator. We decided we could live without an extra freezer (or refrigerator/freezer) and enjoy the savings on the electric bill.

We have a full sized frig, but I was always frustrated finding room for veggies, meats etc. This summer we bought a little bar frig (all frig, no freezer) and keep it in the spare bedroom. It's perfect for drinks and extra veggies, etc. Right now the produce bin is full of onions from buying a 10-lb bag of onions. There's also a cabbage in there when I bought 2 at 79cents each. We go through 2 bags of milk every week (4 litres of milk each) and the frig is invaluable for storing our milk that we're not using.

We have a chest freezer. We defrosted it today, and it's still full to the brim. :-(

No, though we do have good capacity with separate fridge and freezer units in the kitchen. I think people accumulate too much "stuff" as it is, I wouldn't want more room to do that as regards food. When I need to chill a lot of beer/wine/drinks for a crowd, I'll fill a chest with ice and that works fine.

The refrigerator can get a bit full when we're prepping a dinner for a lot of family or guests but we make it work.

We have one refrigerator in the kitchen, a dormitory refrigerator in the hallway outside the master bedroom and a small freezer in the laundry room. I keep Gatorade, ensure and high protein snacks for hubby in the dormitory refrigerator.

2 fridges and a full size chest freezer. The extra fridge and freezer are in the garage.

I have a French door fridge in the kitchen, a side-by-side in the basement and a medium upright freezer in the garage.

I just want to say to you, Sue, that I greatly admire your positive attitude in your life right now. :) You always bring a ray of sunshine to US!

Ditto Sjerin. :-)

I have a french door in the kitchen, a side by side in the pantry, a full size old style top freezer bottom fridge in my in laws quarters and a large freezer/fridge in my shop.

So I have 4 total but 2 are mine and 2 are my parents.

Just one refrigerator. No extra freezer either. And neither compartment is typically full--family of four. Our first house we had a 10 cubic foot LG refrigerator--family of three then. Plenty of space.

If we had a specific need like the original poster, then I would certainly add extra capacity/convenience. But we do not have any special circumstances. And no need for that extra space.

I know when my mother was very sick and hospitalized a few years ago, I went through and threw away a lot of food that had gotten lost/overlooked in all their extra cold storage space because my brother was concerned dad would not pay attention to dates and eat things that were several years old.

We have a side-by-side in the kitchen; a full-sized refrigerator (with top freezer) in the second kitchen; a large upright freezer in the garage...and a small refrigerator in the storage room that is unplugged and used as a toolbox.

We have one in our kitchen, a chest freezer in the basement in the laundry room and DH has a dorm size fridge in his garage, not currently plugged in. He mostly uses it for keeping pop/water/beer cold in the summer.

I would love to replace my very old inefficient refrigerator but I can't seem to find one that fits the built in space for it. Cabinets on both sides and above. Only one I could find was even smaller than the too small one I have now. Very frustrating!

Just one and a chest freezer in the basement. We've been talking about emptying it and unplugging it though.

One in the kitchen and one in the garage. Garage fridge is mostly for water, soda and "adult" beverages. I call it my Vice Box.

Sue you really are AMAZING! Your life is very full! I admire the love you show for your husband!

No. Just one. Ice on the frig door for glasses of filtered water. Just don't need extra frig or freezer space. We don't drink soft drinks, beer or wine which take up a lot of space. I do freeze my brown sugar and rye flour since I don't use them often and still have plenty of room.

I have the typical top freezer unit in the kitchen and a dorm sized unit in the garage. Used to use the small one for beverages when I worked in the garage a lot and for the extra room. Stopped using it when I wanted to cut electric use. It doesn't use that much but it really wasn't needed. Then after the surgeries started a few years ago I plugged it back in since I needed some specialty foods during recovery and since mobility has been so limited in the last years, it's just more convenient to put some of the things in the little one when I bring them home and bring in other groceries and stuff when I can. I'll unplug it soon since winter is approaching and I have the "walk in cooler/freezer" (aka garage) available.

Grainlady, I bought a Kill-A-Watt a couple years ago but never got around to trying it out. Been meaning to then forget about it! Gotta get that thing out and check some things out. I'm curious about some things.

One in the house and on old GE Frigidaire, has a price tag on the back of $248!

will try to post a pic.

Try, try again on the pic.

Nope, not happening.

I only have one fridge and with the electricity price going up I wouldn't want to run another one. I do wish though sometimes my fridge was bigger inside or there was more shelf space. I also wish I could take out the shelf in my refrigerator freezer because I can't even put a small frozen turkey in there because of the shelf in the middle. No room under or below it and the wire rack is not removable like I think it should be
