This is roughly what I do (in the sense that I buy in bulk and freeze stuff), but note that it essentially requires you to not only purchase an extra freezer, but also run it and have the extra space for it. So this strategy does require some capital investment. It's not much, but I have friends that just couldn't do this. (Not necessarily because of the capital required, but because there is just no space for a freezer.)



You really don't need an extra freezer to buy 3/5/10 pounds of chicken instead of 1/2 pound.


Oh okay, you surely know what's in my freezer. I guess my stuffed freezer wasn't actually stuffed and I didn't need to buy the extra freezer.

Maybe, you know, chicken isn't the only thing in my freezer.


So you extrapolate, to the general population, your need for an extra freezer as an obstacle to reducing the cost of buying in bulk but your objection to my comment is that it is not relevant to you in particular?


I didn't extrapolate anywhere. You're making shit up and reading things that aren't there.

And my objection to your comment is I think pretty universally applicable.


The savings really add up at that 10 pound level. Chicken quarters are still under a dollar a pound at Walmarts in that quantity.


No doubt. But in the context of this discussion, it sounds like, for even that size package, the target audience could make room in the freezer they already have by consuming and not replacing their existing stock of frozen tacos, waffles and corn dogs.
