I own an upright "apartment size" (5 cft?) model I bought at a garage
sale about 16 years ago for $140.
If I keep it packed with on sale meat ($2.99 a lb tri-trip for
example), then it's fairly frugal.
half empty...probably not frugal. so you have to factor in the
savings on the sale items X the electricity running it. It'd be more
frugal if I could keep it in a cool cellar though instead of my warmer
than the house garage.

We have a 15 cu.ft. chest freezer in the garage that we use for bulk
meat puchases, garden produce and frozen items from Costco. Helps
keep a hungry family of 5 fed.

I am currently looking for a good deal on another, ~7 cu.ft. model
because I plan to start kegging my homebrew beer.

For just yerself, I doubt you'll save much. Try a
small pre-owned one on Craigslist, about $50, 10 cu ft.
(I prefer my meat like my wimmen.....fresh/hot)

For us, it saves money because my income is not steady over the course
of the year, and I can stockpile food for when my income is lower.

Rough translation is "I'm a scum spammer who will continue to spam your

Not everyone. My biggest expenditure categories are

a. all insurances combined and

b. taxes (fed and property).

After that follow groceries and utilities.
