To be honest I never have but I have had the freezer so full that I was lucky to get one more thing in. My daughter lives next door and she has a big freezer. So you know what happens there.
Eating something yummy sounds like a good plan.

@beach-mom That's a happy solution! I mean, i LNOW you would have returned it if you could have, but what Else were you gonna do?
This time of year stocking up is a wise plan.

I'm going to replace my refrigerator in January and I think I will purchase a freezer to put in my basement.

I rearranged, and was down to one item that just wouldn't fit into it, the seasonal Peppermint Joe ice cream. I bought a few to last through the holidays. They all fit into except the one. I tried and tried, and I was tired and my back hurt.
So I finally realized how I could solve my problem. I ate it, well most of it! I squished what was left down and pushed it in.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who has ever done this, or at least thought about it!
You made the right decision and one I would have made as well!! ![]()

Tough times call for tough measures, sometimes you just have to make the sacrifice.
