It is 8cuft apx and has since been put to good use. Bought a boatload of chicken @.66 a lb and 1/4 of a cow (about 160lbs) from the grazeland out here in Colorado. Fortunately we are a family of carnivores! Will keep continously stocked anytime we find a sale at the commisary. This is probably one of the best buys to date (even with the extra electricity to run it).

You have to buy a laundry basket full at once. You get 24 foil containers (or ziploc bags, depending on the meal), and each has 3 servings. It's more expensive than making from scratch, but cheaper than eating out. No prep time (or cleanup) - just toss a salad together and you're good to go. We're on month one of the experiment. I'm a fan of the chicken bruschetta; not so much on the tortellini. There’s a local place that sells pre-cooked meals. You have to buy a laundry basket full at once.

It's on the wedding registry -- they're actually surprisingly cheap new. If we don't get it, we almost have enough in gift cards from the shower to get one with them. Our Meijers always has great sales on bulk items - sometimes 5 pound bags of chicken are buy one get one free. We simply don't have room in the freezer over our fridge to take advantage of that kind of sale. We’ve been planning on getting one of those freezers for a while now.
