OTOH, you probably don't live 30+ minutes from any real grocery store, on a mountain where winter weather could unexpectedly keep you from getting there for a few days. I'm also over an hour from Costco, where I like to stock up on steaks, salmon, and frozen pizzas. I've stood in a Costco or grocery store looking at something I wanted to buy, like crab legs for instance, but not at all sure I had the room for them, so I've passed. With even a small extra freezer I wouldn't have to do so. All reasons why I have been considering a freezer. But I don't freeze fruit or grains like some here do, so I can probably manage, with planning.
Just like most everything, this is an individual thing, one size doesn't fit all. Telling me what I should do while knowing very little of my situation really isn't helpful at all.
