When I want to defrost my 300 litre freezer I put the frozen food in bags in a pile under a duvet. I defrost the freezer with a mini steam cleaner so it is done quickly, stuff is normally out of the freezer for no more than 2 hours.

Ah thanks what a good idea. It has only just got to the stage it needs defrosting as Mr TS left something in the top of a basket and the lid wasn't shut properly for couple of days until I went out there again, meant there was a rim of ice around the top which I did scrape away with the tool you get but it's also up the insides a bit too.

I would just like to pass on my thanks to the wonderful elite crew without you guys I wouldn’t of had the bargains iv had or free up a bit more cash to be spent elsewhere it really has made a difference especially with my 2 young boys as I’ve not had a drop of alcohol since 2015 when I found I was pregnant lol I’ll raise my cup of tea to you all and to those sadly not with us. I hopefully will find some bargains in 2018 to share
Happy New Year xx

Very very impressed:)

We are planning a new kitchen in the new year and I’ve come up with a brilliant idea. I’m thinking that we could replace our built in kitchen freezer with a larger freezer in the garage which will allow me to fully take advantage of whoopsies:D

I’ve been reading up and it looks like there’s only the Beko brand that will offer a guarantee for garage use. Has anyone else any experience of freezers in their garages?

We have this freezer in our garage Ice King CFAP400 Lockable Chest Freezer in White £289.99 Coop

TS saw this and thought of you!!







PS where did you stash your biscuits? with last year haul!?

Empty quality st wrappers are not as traumatic as empty after eight ones.

Last years haul was all gone, the chocolate and biscuit side of the sideboard was empty for once this year in the absence of any 1p/4p hauls from Ts. I had to actually buy biscuits in December so what I did have lasted well the last box of waities shortbread eaten in November was dated August but fine. :cool:

That trolley load I posted the other day wasn't all for me btw, it was to be divided between me, 2 of my DD's and a MSE friend.

Pretty sure it's this one,

It has 36 hours power failure storage too. I know that was something else I looked at, think the chest freezers come out better than the upright on power failure storage.

Thats huge:eek::eek:

Thanks...I will check it out tomorrow:D

Thank you

And mine is full to the brim after my whoopsie shop yesterday. :rotfl:

Everything was rolling around in it to start with but it's not long before you start having to play games of tetris.

On the wall in the garage I have a map on a white board where I try to keep an inventory.

Get them put onto one card, much easier that way

How, please?

I have spent over £40 on 5 x £3 cards in the past few weeks .

No need to extend those .

2 year guarantee. I am sure mine came with a 3 year guarantee, perhaps they have changed it.
More than happy with my freezer and can highly recommend it.
