Taking control of your food supply is basic. It seems like a big expense to set up a decent kitchen, but the truth is that you can do a lot in a small space. It’s so much cheaper to prepare stuff in advance and freeze it. For the cost of one takeout meal you can have five home cooked meals.

Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 months agoI was thinking more power use averaged over time. But yeah there’s a lot of factors in calculating something like that.
I’m a freezer hoarder myself (mostly stuff I bought cheap, close to expiration) but I just have the bottom part of a typical European fridge (not double-wide) to use. Fills up pretty quickly but with the shape pizzas are, you can load up a shitload of those bad boys in an otherwise “full” fridge with some elbow grease.

So much less than you’d think. My GIGANTIC unit (literally a full sized fridge model but on it’s side as a chest freezer) costs something like $25 to run all year. These things are stupidly good at their job because cold air is dense and sinks, unlike a stand-up model that dumps the cold air out every time you open it.
My mini fridge for my soda and bongs costs more to run each year and is literally 1/in the volume
