I certainly see your point Anna.
Currently I'm not trying to clean out my freezer(s), just cook from them as they are at max capacity. They hold everything from meats, seafood, stocks, grains that tend to get buggy inside, to spices, and a few other things that freeze well. Even though the grocery store is not far away the freezer affords me convenience and a wide variety of items to cook from. And like Martin I stock up on good priced items
