Plus one on much of the above
I have two upright freezers in my garage and they are usually full, if not boar or deer, there are many other things. Once in a while I can move things all into one and unplug one for a few months, but its been a while since I did that.
As so many have said, with a freezer and vacuum sucker, you can buy good stuff in bulk and have it ready. I also keep frozen water bottles for thermal mass but also for use in coolers. I keep coffee beans and raw almonds in the freezer, my dehydrated fruit, and domestic meats I buy when they are on sale.
I like upright, my brother in law prefers chest, as a kid I remember we had both, get what works for you.
I just checked consumerreports.org; kenmore and frigidaire are top rated.
Good luck
