Smaller house = forced savings

...cuz we had to leave the freezers outside on the porch... and since we live in a trailer and don't cool it, having them outside means they'll run less often [and not at all here shortly], so we're saving money on our food storage requirements.

They're under a carport that covers the front patio area of our house, against the wall as you walk out the door. They're shaded, in an area with plenty of airflow, and as cold as it gets here during the cold months, they'll pretty much just quit running for a few months once winter actually sets in.

Granted, it doesn't cost that much to run two freezers [one upright and one chest], but I'll be dad-gummed if I'm gonna pay for stuff I don't have to.
