For just us we have a counter depth fridge/freezer and it is plenty. I find they run sales often enough I can easily stay stocked with good values on steaks, roasts, etc. And very little ever goes to waste as I can see it all.
Just an idea.

Since 1982, DW and I have had a freezer, filled with either the annual beef and/or hog. Grown by people we know, with feed grown by the same people, butchered by the same people. I cannot put a price on that.
I don't want to jinx myself, but we have never lost food to spoilage or equipment failure. We also have a whole house generator to protect over 1500 bottles of wine, and whatever may be stored/harvested out of garden.
