How Big a Home Freezer Should a Family Buy

The USDA says size matters for best value. Freezers range from 2.5 to 60 cubic feet, commonly 4 to 18. Plan about 5 or 6 cu ft per person, or 10–12 cu ft per person if storing large yearly supplies. A cubic foot holds 30–35 pounds. Better to overestimate than underestimate as larger models cost less per cubic foot and electricity use varies with size and use.
