Black Friday Chest Freezer and what size?

[FLAngie]

I am looking for a chest freezer to try to start buying in bulk to save a little money. I have been scanning the black friday ads but haven't found anything. Maybe nothing on sale that day. Does anyone know of a site that I can type in what I am looking for instead of looking at all the ads individually?

Also, if you have a chest freezer, what size do you have? We are a family of 4 and want to mainly use it as overflow for holidays and for stocking up.

TIA

This is more of a bump!

We have an upright freezer. I saw the difficulty my sister had with her chest freezer (probably added to her back problems!) that I knew I didn't want one.

Good luck!

PS One thing I learned in my 2 uprights is to get the larger one.
You would be surprised how much stuff you will buy once you know you have a home for all of that frozen food!

I would just check out craigslist.
Lots of people buy them and the get rid of them for whatever reason.

Sears has a 5 cu.ft. and a 7 cu.ft. Kenmore, and Walmart has a 5 cu.ft. GE http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/search.php
If that link doesn't bring you to the "freezer" results, just type that word into the search box. The smaller ones are $159, and the larger one is $179.

I personally would not buy an older used freezer. When we replaced our smaller one (that we bought brand new and was about 10 years old), the new one, which was much larger, cost aprox $10 a month less to run. The older one was not that energy effecient.

Thanks for the replies everyone. The gottadeal website was just what I was looking for. And great tips on what to look for!
