Chest freezers

[xenon]

I've been on the lookout for a couple of weeks now. Sold out everywhere.

Just looking for a 5 cu. ft. one.

Anyone been able to track one down in the last few weeks?

I'd love to make my grocery orders larger - but I'm up against space constraints now.

Try Craig’s list?

Is it going to be in a garage or shed? Not every freezer works when in ambient cold weather.

I've seen a lot of chests I'd like to have kept, but it never occurred to me to freeze them....

Things that were easy to find a short while ago - are now in demand. Same thing with weights and exercise equipment - couldn't barely give away weight sets and benches - now - they're selling for close to retail on the used market.

Xenon, I was doing the same thing two weeks ago. Made a mention on FB about my frustration and I had an acquaintance immediately offer up a freezer they were getting rid of. You might try the same?

My backup plan? I was going to buy a used refrigerator with a 5 cubic foot freezer for the basement...

By the way, you may want to check used appliance shops, estate sales, or moving sales.
