    Current house (until Sunday) under bench freezer and big american fridge freezer, flipping huge that thing I think the fridge space is something like 13 cu ft. When we move american fridge freezer and a large 1/2 1/2 fridge freezer. Still manage to overfill them :o
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Fridge/Freezer here - good size fridge and four drawer freezer PLUS a half-size chest freezer. But then again, there are only the two of us.

    full height fridge and freezer seperate from each other.. the range is Beko, got them from Curry's i think a few years back. Love them, wouldn't do without them.. about the only thing i would do is to buy a bigger fridge next time. I know if i had to go back to a small fridge and an icebox i would *really* struggle.. couldn't do it. both are so central to OS/moneysaving and cooking that i would probably implode with the attempt. lol.

    I am in a rented self-contained bedsit. So I have what I am given.

    I have a fridge with an ice box section (frozen food bought from the shop has a shelf life in there of just 3 days) which is not large enough for a pizza box even. Probably big enough for 2 frozen small meals for 1.

    I have no freezer. And no space for a freezer. Yes I'd like one, but until they start making a sofa/bed/freezer in one, it's not an option.

    I've got a biggish half fridge/half freezer (not one of the really big ones that reaches all the way to the ceiling - the next size down).

    Fridge is perfectly adequate but even though I live alone, I find the freezer is on the small side for all the batch cooking I want to do. My social life tends to go quiet for a couple of weeks then completely mad for a few more, so what I'd really like to be able to do is several weeks worth of batch cooking in a few days.

    I simply don't have the space for a bigger one (I can't even expand upwards by getting a ceiling height one, as where would my slow cooker, breadmaker and blender then live? :D)

    I have an under counter fridge its to small really but its all we have room for and i have a small chest freezer in the kitchen which the kids have managed to snap the lid off and a large chest freezer in the dining room which gets filled with all my yellowed stickered meat and fish.
  • I have a larder fridge (same height as fridge freezer but all fridge) which is a godsend and then in the garage I have a small chest freezer and a half height freezer with drawers.

    i have a normal size larder fridge, and a much smaller feezer, i would love a larger freezer but dont have the room as it is the freezer is housed in the cupboard under the stairs. i have taken to keeping a list of what the freezer contains so as i know what i need to buy and am not tempted to buy this because they are reduced if i dont need them and dont have room to store them

  • I have a under counter fridge and seperate upright counter level freezer. Fridge I bought second hand when I moved in, freezer was from Iceland, just cos it was nearby and cheap. Fridge is usually at least half full - all those jars and bottles of stuff that we used to keep in the larder in the good old days ! and often gets almost full with veg, salad stuff, some fruit, cheeses and cold meat. Freezer is currently more than adequate for my needs as I don't buy ready meals or much " freezer food " - its mostly full of hm stuff, bread, and grated cheese ! its about 2/3rd full atm but need to run it down for a meat deliver in a couple of weeks time.

    I have an American style fridge-freezer. I do love it, cos it looks great in our kitchen, but the freezer just doesn't seem big enough. The shelves are quite narrow, so pizza boxes are a problem.

    I bought another freezer (you know the ones, half height, not chest, but with drawers) and it sits next to the American one with my breadmaker on top. There are 4/5 people in my home and I look dinner for them and I batch cook a lot, so with 1 1/2 freezers I do okay.

    Always seem to have room in the fridge though, not sure why. I keep all the normal stuff in there and at the moment, there is also loads of beer and wine. :o I also keep eggs and spuds and fresh veg in there as well.
