I understand @QVCkitty1  living alone I run out of room in my freezer since I do not finish all meals at one time.  Plus sale prices are better for things like ice cream but you must buy two gallons and not just one to get the almost half price off.

Right now I have 3 food items in my freezer here at the office until I can make room for it at home. It will only get worse until January and the holidays are over.

@Group 5 minus 1  Great question- I don't remember that episode- can you and your hubbs please explain it for me? Sounds fun!

Is that the one where they finally found the kids hamster in the box of frozen fudgesicles in the freezer?

Not appreciated by:  The kiddos and their dentists (who probably have upticks in filling cavities in November $$).

There was also an episode where Marie was cleaning Deborah's refrigerator and her husband eats some spoiled food and gets sick later.  A lot of the food in the refrigerator was spoiled.

@QVCkitty1 ----had to chuckle a little---I have a very tiny refer/freezer in my very tiny kitchen in my small apt, and I HAVE to remember--every time I go shopping about how I am going to store any food, especially in my freezer---can store maybe up to 1 weeks worth of meats besides the other things. My pantry is not awful but is crammed full of the others staples and stuff. I also got a mini fridge--DD and I call it our beer fridge--no beer in it tho, but it helps out alot. Have it in a corner next to a tiny counter where my tiny sink is--then I have 3 racks down that wall to hold my kitchen stuff and a round dining table next to all that. Is a tetris of a situation---drives me insane--

@Pandalady  Oh, that's a good point Pandalady!  I miss trick or treating- can grown ups trick or treat?

@wagirl , It's a challenge.

I find the trunk of my car to be a great place to store overages. Great for huge packs of paper towels, toilet paper and Kleenex. I have a few large bags of yarn in there too. Our weather is not inclined to be severe in winter or summer so the temp doesn't usually bother my trunk storage, lol.

I should talk. I'm waiting for Amazon to deliver 60 rolls of toilet paper. Our laundry area near the downstairs bathroom has ten feet of closet space that is all shelving. I never put food in the lower level of our house, but I store paper products there.
