I’m the same. Every year I think I’ll just go ahead and get a small chest freezer (we don’t have room for much more than a 5 cubic foot one) and at least put by for me and the husband, but I just can’t see being MORE dependent on power both financially and with the risk of losing it in an outage. I have quite a bit of food already in our 22 year old side-by-side fridge freezer but I’m not ready to add to the mix. That’s why I have also switched to dehydrating as a main food preservation method. I just feel that the less dependent the methods can be, the more secure we are.
