I have one in my garage and use it as a meat buffer. When there's a good sale, we stock up. Over the next months, we draw down the supply, topping back up if there's another exceptional sale. The highlight of the year is around Thanksgiving when stores have loss leader turkeys on sale. We drive from store to store (they're clustered, which is handy) in one trip, usually ending up with ten to twelve turkeys that fill up the chest freezer. Come January stores often will have them on sale again trying to free up space during the part of the year with low amount of turkey buying. Those replace any turkeys we cooked during the holidays. We also once bought 1/4 of a cow, which we'll probably do again in the summer.
