Thoughts on Adding an Extra Large Fridge to Curb Delivery and outside Food Spending?

AlienC on 27/04/2020 - 13:37

I am considering adding an extra large fridge to store my food as I feel like if I fill a fridge full of supermarket frozen foods it will make me rely a lot less on restaurants and deliveries which would mean a lot in savings.

I live in a 3 person household and the freezer space is pretty much gone which means I can't just nicely stock 10 bags of frozen chips and other frozen foods easily.

I just realised that my fridge space is actually really good so maybe I will only need to add a freezer most likely a chest fridge as I know they are more efficient and cheaper to run at maybe $170 per year or roughly 50 cents per day.. $4 a week which is a lot cheaper than spending that alone on the delivery fee etc.

If I fill up a chest freezer full of food it means I don't have to go out for food or wait for delivery.

And I have to shop less or even just do one big bulk delivery every month or so.

I think this seems like a good idea as I have been spending like almost $40 every few days on delivery lately and I did the maths and that is easily like a seasons worth of food getting spent in a fortnight.

This is ozbargain after all and we all love savings so I am wondering how other people have approached this.

Running down to the shops every other day would be annoying and as I don't drive I can only carry what I can fit in my 45L bag when I go out usually for work and back home etc.

I guess now my question is what have others found in terms of savings electricity and purchase price wise per litre on upright vs chest freezers.

I am pretty sure my landlord would be cool with it I just have to bring it up with him and my other housemate will probably want one too knowing how he thinks so I will probably end up helping him get one too.

Lastly I guess does anyone know of any good deals on chest freezers?

          Some might have better thermostat control or other temperature maintaining features than others who just keep the compressor going at full blast all the time.

            @AlienC: just make sure you get one with automatic defrost. Otherwise they become a pain.

      • lgacb08 on 29/04/2020 - 15:13

        Chest freezer is best because it is thermodynamically efficient. I got an old 200l freezer that use only 0.6kwh a day and you can stack crap loads of frozen stuff on it. The issue is you need to keep track on what stay at the bottom once it gets too full so your wagyu beef won't be left there until next time you decide to defrost it. Also need to learn how to stack them efficiently (still struggle with this lol)

    You're about 2-3 months LATE in wanting to buy a freezer. No stock of chest freezers for months now.

    • AlienC on 27/04/2020 - 14:06

      True with all the current events happening but surely there should be one or two somewhere?

      I can hunt it down if it exists anywhere I just want to know which one is the best or if there are any neat chest freezer features that might make one better than another like digital thermostat or something.

      ^ This

      However, yes, you are right. Chest type freezers are an order of magnitude more efficient than uprights. Especially once the door is opened. If the door is never opened, then a similar capacity with similar insulation will perform similarly. Once door opening is considered then that equation goes right out the window. An opened chest style freezer has a much smaller inflow of warm air and outflow of cold air than an upright.

      I don't know if NON frost free is still an option nowadays in Oz, but you don't even have to spring for that in a chest freezer and it will be even more power efficient. You'll have to defrost but if used correctly you'll hardly have to do it.

    ""fill a fridge full of supermarket frozen foods""

    You need to do some cooking! Living on Frozen Foods means consuming lots of Numbers (read the ingredients on the box, 260, 330, etc) basically full of preservatives, chemicals, and other junk.

    Learn to whip up some Pasta dishes and Rice dishes, pretty easy if you keep it simple. And don't forget the Vegetables, there's nothing easier than cooking up some steamed vegies!

    Fresh food is way better than that frozen stuff, and normally cheaper :)

    • AlienC on 27/04/2020 - 14:29
      +1

      Definitely I plan to get into cooking more seriously but I am limited to only vegetarian meals with no garlic or onion because of the place I am living in currently which makes cooking a little bit tricky.

      Eating the vegan lifestyle at home is hard that is why I get a lot of food delivery in because if I don't use their kitchen then it is fine so bringing in takeout into my room then disposing of it immediately is the lesser of two evils for me atm.

      Believe me if I had my own place it would be spaghetti and meatballs and spam, egg and rice all day everyday among other things.

            • AlienC on 27/04/2020 - 17:50

              @dasher86: Well the frozen food would be vegan friendly stuff like frozen chips and frozen vegan foods that you can just chuck in the oven basically.

              Would save a couple of trips and time.

          This is a blessing in disguise for the OP. It's healthy eating (having garlic or onions could make it better) and much better for his health than the crap he eats from outside.

      You can still freeze food you have cooked. I often double batch meals that are suitable for freezing so I can get two meals out of one efforts.

    • Zephyrus on 29/04/2020 - 09:14

      Frozen vegetables are fine. They're often fresher than those you find on the shelf.

      Also, spoiler alert, most seafood is frozen before it's sold, especially prawns (I don't think you can actually buy a fresh prawn outside of fisheries).

      • sheebies on 29/04/2020 - 11:03

        Yes you can buy fresh prawns outside of fisheries.

        I used to work in a seafood place and most of our prawns were fresh. Any seafood that had been frozen was adequately labelled as frozen.

        • Zephyrus on 29/04/2020 - 11:54

          The more you know. Got a link? You must have been very close to a prawn fishery/farm as they go off very quickly (within a day or two normally).

          Normally I see people buying thawed prawns and then rushing to cook them, rather than just buying them frozen and thawing it themselves as needed.

          • sheebies on 29/04/2020 - 21:48

            @Zephyrus: A link to what?

            We actually were not overly close.
            Cooked prawns last longer than a day or two if kept in the right conditions.

            Most of our seafood, unless explicitly purchased from overseas (new zealand, etc) was fresh. Also, on that note after that job I moved to the woolworths seafood department and any seafood labelled fresh, had not been frozen.

            • Zephyrus on 29/04/2020 - 22:36

              @sheebies: The fishmonger.

              Cooked is not fresh. Fresh is raw and never frozen. Normally it's done on the boat at the time of catch.

    Here is something left field. Why don't you get one of the camping fridges/freezers? The ones from Dometic allow you to configure the space on how much is the Fridge space and how much is the freezer space. I am consider to buy one of these since I go camping a lot. If I buy the largest one then it can double as my house storage freezer when I am not camping. Only downside is they are more expensive than a normal chest freezer.

    • Davo1111 on 27/04/2020 - 18:00

      our company spent a heap on one. Just be aware that some are chillers, and not a freezer.

    I don't understand, why do you need another freezer/fridge?

    • AlienC on 28/04/2020 - 21:23

      Current freezer space is too small for three separate people with three separate set of grocery items.

      It is barely the size of one and a half standard microwaves in terms of space.

      Fridge is fine even when we do heavy bulk meal presentations the fridge space is able to accommodate all three of our needs but the limited freezer space means like I can barely buy more than two bags of frozen chips and veggies for just myself alone with the freezer door shelf reserved for three boxes of small desserts.

      It's not bad just a smidge too small for three people to store frozen foods.

      Ideally we would like to triple the current freezer space so we have one freezer for each person in the house space wise and don't have to 100% fill the freezer all the time which has its own problems in doing so.

      TL;DR fridge space is fine even for three people and after large meals but freezer space is barely enough for one person comfortably and right now there are three of us trying to fit into one space

    IMO the issue isn't delivery, it's your spending and cooking habits. Also, some things like bread and milk still need to be collected every few days.

    apparently, a chest freezer is very efficient compared to an upright.

    tbh i think you're going to wrong way about this. Learn to cook properly, use few ingredients. If it was me, i'd buy my dinner on the way home every night, forcing exercise.

    I think you should look at the cooking tips associated with that woolworths delivery box, they had simple ingredients of low value and could produce a reasonable meal.

    I think this seems like a good idea as I have been spending like almost $40 every few days on delivery lately and I did the maths and that is easily like a seasons worth of food getting spent in a fortnight.

    Get long life food delivered once a month, and get short term food often (in person).

    Or, buy all food on a 3 day cycle.

    $4 a week which is a lot cheaper than spending that alone on the delivery fee etc.

    You've forgotten the price of the freezer. You've also got the cost of having to move or sell the thing. If you have a power cut, you lose the lot. Happened to family friends in sydney a few months back

    I think there's an inherit value of going outside, even if you just buy bread and milk.

    • AlienC on 27/04/2020 - 18:47

      I don't mind going outside but some days I am just too tired to carry the extra weight and just want to get home which is where takeaway makes life easier.

      Also on the weekends I rest at home and recharge for the week ahead so unless I am feeling really energetic I will be at home and usually end up eating stuff like ice cream or whatever long life food I have at home.. which is unfortunately atm popcorn, butter and ice cream.

      I do like storing frozen food in the freezer which is why this might work out better in the long run if you extrapolate it over a year or two.

      Having easy access to oven food is always a bonus and few food stay in the fridge for long periods of time well so freezer is the best way to do this.

    • Zephyrus on 29/04/2020 - 09:16

      If the power is cut don't open it. Most power outages in Australia are only a few hours long so it shouldn't be able to defrost if you have a decent one with enough insulation.

    I live alone but I have a fridge / freezer as well as a stand-alone freezer.

    The reason I got one was so that I could so meal prep for the month, as sometimes when you live alone it’s hard to get the motivation to cook a real meal. I spend one weekend a month cooking up 5 different main meals, splitting them into portions and freezing. Now when I get home from work I just cook up rice, pasta or noodle and reheat my dinner and It’s all done in 15mins. But this is what’s best for me, I agree with some comments above I don’t think buying a freezer will fix your issues,

    Out of curiosity do you feel you need to ask your landlord for permission? They don’t control what appliances you can put in the house.

    • AlienC on 28/04/2020 - 21:18

      The landlord is also a long time family friend so there is family connections I am kind of just living here to help out with bills and around the house kinda as I kind of gesture of appreciation for the long relationship basically my grandfather has had with the landlord over the many years.

      So it's kind of life half business landlord half living with long time friend of the family that is why it is not very cut and dry in most cases but there is that extra degree of "we have known each other for decades so we cut each other some slack in a lot of areas and it goes both ways" kind of deal.

      It has pros and cons and is very different to a normal strictly business landlord and tenant only relationship because of the family friend consideration.

    I would definitely buy an upright freezer, not a chest freezer. Much easier to store and manage bulk food in an upright. I do this and it does save on more frequent trips to shops. I buy frozen food when on half price special. I also cook up bulk meals such as soup, stew, spag bol and freeze it in serving sizes. I always have a few choices of meals, easy to grab and reheat in microwave in minutes. Easy and saves the temptation of commercial fast food. I have never costed the electricity savings. I just know I am ahead of the games overall: fresh healthy food and saving money. Winner all round.

    I fully agree with goldcoasterlinda.
    I have had an upright freezer and a chest freezer for many years.
    It’s very convenient having a freezer. I buy milk and bread for a week or 2 and freeze these as well. Buy frozen stuff in bulk when they go on half price.
    I always cook double of a recipe and freeze some.
    I also freeze cakes and cookies. Even cheese when it goes on special. I grate the block and divide them into convenient portions and freeze.
    Spices stay fresher in the freezer.
    It’s a great time saver not to go shopping all the time.
    Whilst an upright freezer is very convenient, especially if it has drawers, I find a chest freezer can store big items more easily. Though it’s a pain to defrost.

        They are just a single person who can't get into the communal freezer and wants to buy another one because 45L of food isn't enough every other day.

        If I fill up a chest freezer full of food it means I don't have to go out for food or wait for delivery.

        And I have to shop less or even just do one big bulk delivery every month or so.

        Some people want to get out and get some exercise. They want to stay in for prolonged periods of time.

    • AlienC on 28/04/2020 - 21:14

      The fridge space is fine it's just our freezer space that is tiny because it is like the size of maybe one and a half microwaves and for three people it is just barely enough and usually always fully loaded so storing stuff like more than a few items per person is near impossible and two out of the three household members buy ice cream which take up even more space from other items like frozen chips and veggies and whatnot other freezer stored food.

      Honestly if the freezer was double the size it would be much more manageable near perfect but the idea of having a separate freezer for storing long life frozen food is nice.. Would definitely save some money on food delivery and take out.

      We very rarely buy takeaway

      And I find cooking relaxing (I know some people hate cooking)and it gives me a chance to try something new

  • Spic3y on 28/04/2020 - 22:30

    We have two freezers other than our fridge/freezer. One 'Tuckerbox' style chest freezer and one large chest. They are a godsend.

    I've never done the math on what they cost to run because we save so much from having the ability to store large quantities of meat and leftovers.

    It's totally worth it!

    • AlienC on 29/04/2020 - 00:56

      This is the logic that I am going with.

      Today I had to get domino's again and the cost of the entire delivery probably could have paid for the months electricity for the chest freezer alone and probably something cheap from coles or woolies.

      It really is a no brainer I need to ask for permission to do this from the owner of the house immediately.

      He will probably be pleased that he has more space to put food safely away from rats anyways and I am more than happy to pay extra to cover the electricity so yeah I see no downsides to this besides maybe taking up some basement space as the kitchen area is full.

      Some quick research shows that even some of the large chest freezers only cost about $200 max a year in electricity costs to run which for my use case scenario is about a months worth of food delivery easily maybe even a fortnight sometimes so this goes to show that getting a chest freezer and stocking it up with supermarket food is a lot cheaper than getting food delivery.

      Next step is to find out whether growing my own vegetables is worth the investment or not or even investing in a small farm in the backyard but honestly the chest freezer for now will do.

    Yes

    As everyone says, chest freezer. But this also requires you buy bulk meat. When I was a kid my grandpa seemed to buy half a cow at a time.

  • RandomFox on 29/04/2020 - 00:39

    I haited my chest freezer. Organized it yesterday? too bad because you needed something from the bottom.

    • AlienC on 29/04/2020 - 00:58

      Knowing how I usually organise my food I will probably organise it from top to bottom in order of what I will most likely use first at the top and use last at the bottom and usually I don't buy too many varieties of food but just mass bulk one or two things.

      For me it would most likely be frozen chips and other vego frozen meals.

      Might sneak a few non veg stuff at the bottom if I am really sneaky hehe or make a hidden compartment somehow lol.

    I use a bar freezer (size of the bar fridge). yeah I get its prob more inefficient - but having to dig to the bottom of a freezer to get the oldest stuff is a pain. trade off between ease of use and efficiency I guess. so much easier to slide out a drawer and get items

    I got mine when I was a bachelor - I'd get a weeks worth of pizza on sale and freeze em…..the good old days!

  • FareEvader on 29/04/2020 - 11:55

    It's a good idea, I have an extra fridge full of food which curbs my eating out habits.

  • DingoBilly on 29/04/2020 - 12:24

    I just go out and shop more often -> Means I also get exercise and get out of the house, and don't need to worry about storage… seems like the best solution, although tbf shops are only 10 minutes away for me so fairly convenient. If you live much farther out from shops I can see it being a bit of a nuisane.

    • AlienC on 29/04/2020 - 12:29

      My shops distance wise is not far it is just steep as the area where I live is hilly very up and down lots of incline and declines.

      Also I cannot carry much back so getting a bulk delivery makes more sense until I get a car.

    What is the ideal temp to have your chest freezer?
    What is the min temp that a chest freezer will go?
    Normal freezer is recommened at approx -17C but wouldn't having chest freezer at its coldest increase the life span of food? Ice cream that needs to be softer can stay in the normal freezer.
    I can't seem to find any good info on this topic on the web.

    Cook fresh food. I make fresh and healthy meals on the day and refrigerate the left over for max 1-3 days. I never freeze food. It does not take a lot of effort to cook meals, I enjoy it. All you need is veggies and beans, you can make almost any vegetarian dish.

    • AlienC on 30/04/2020 - 10:51

      I would love to read your recipes if you are okay with sharing with them.

      I can't have onion garlic mushroom or dead animal as part of the diet restrictions and conditions of staying here but I can have milk and dairy products.

      Now that I read your comment I forgot I have not done simple microwave nachos for awhile (baked beans, corn chips, cheese, sour cream and diced tomatoes).

      My diet is fairly limited but yeah you find some ways in making stir fries or my favourite crispy tofu with broccoli and rice topped with soy sauce.

      • Black Brown Blue on 30/04/2020 - 13:46

        Onion, garlic and mushroom - are you allergic to these.
        Onion and garlic form the sauté base of many dishes along with tomatoes. From there the possibilities are endless. You can make mixed vegetables, letil soups and various form of curries. Just chuck in some spices and there you go. You will have to look up the recipes on YouTube because that’s how I learnt :).

  • 5iveburn on 05/05/2020 - 19:38

    That's a good Idea!
    So you can store more food, it would actually help you save!

    • AlienC on 05/05/2020 - 22:30

      That is the idea.

      Cut down on outside eating and also save a couple of trips to the supermarket because now I can bulk store.

      In my situation it is a decent upgrade that will pay itself off within a year.

      Next assignment for me now is to choose my first car just for small trips to work and grocery runs as the 7km one way trip to work by taxi is costing me $22 one way so $44 a day on taxi alone.

      Car has got to be a bit cheaper me thinks even if I add in all the associated costs with keeping, operating, servicing and maintaining a car.

      But it is nice to have someone to talk to before and after work to and from home that is for sure.. the social aspect is nice.. if I had a car I would be just listening to the radio or something.

      • 5iveburn on 07/05/2020 - 01:34

        That would probably be a good plan.
        I think you are right that it would be cheaper in terms of payment and owning it after rather than paying for taxi everyday with a high rate and not owning anything after years!

    I am in Mel VIC looking for any good Freezer deals above 140L up to about 400L probably max for now I know it goes up to 700L for domestic stuff.

    Looking at ones that are very cheap to run so 4-5 star power efficiency ones.

    But yeah what is the best value or best bang for buck ones for now.

    Does not need wire cage just a large chest freezer to put downstairs so we can stock up on frozen foods (been wanting to do this even before the whole virus event thing mainly so I can cut down on my number of grocery trips or food deliveries).

    Cheers thanks hope you are all having a lovely day.
