How a Stand-Alone Freezer Can Save You Money
If you are looking for new ways to save money in your home, consider the long-term value of a stand-alone freezer. Freezers are sold as stand-up units and chest, in a variety of sizes and price points.
You can purchase a reliable stand alone freezer for between $200-$500 depending on the size you’re looking for. Luxury and commercials freezer may be more expensive, but will come with more features than most homes require.
A medium-sized freezer may only add between $50-$80 per year in electricity costs. Typically, a stand-alone freeze will last for about 15 years.
Many foods can be stored for long periods of time in a freezer. This allows you to waste less food, and make bulk food purchases when items are on sale, or sold at a lower bulk cost.
