If you're in the market for a home freezer-- and July is the traditional month for bargains in this expensive appliance- will you find the freezer a money-saver as well as a convenience? The the firsl time ever, you must ask yoursell this question with utmost seriousness ami seek an honest, realistic answer that will not be obscured by the apparent advantages and arguments with which you sell yourself. And in this era of soaring prices for electricity as well as record high prices for other forms of energy and foods, that honest answer is not simple. Of course, a home freezer is a convenience, permitting you to take a a a of moneysaving meat specials and other bargains.

You can save time (andgas) in shopping by buying large quantities of food during one trip. The appliance encourages you to freeze your own home-grown fruits, vegetables and meat and possibly to save money thereby. You can not only freeze leftovers and cut down on wasted food but you also can double a recipe, freeze half and then have your own ready-made future TV dinner at hand for use whenever vou want it. A freezer can, in fact, be your own well-stocked supermarket in your own home. Also of course, there are disadvantages of owning a freezer in this era.

Among these are: the mounting costs of owning and operating the appliance: the i a i risks of a power failure and resulting spoilage of a valuable volume of food; the problem of "losing" a a i a food package buried under a few dozen other packages until its no longer useful: the possible chore of periodic defrosting. Having made these essential points, 1 return to the key question: will your freezer be a money-saver for you' 1 The answer is twofold: (1) Whether it does will depend on how much you use the appliance. (2) The odds are it will not save you money--unless you carefully obey several strict rules, or you must drive a long distance to shop and use expensive gas and oil to do so, or you live on a farm. It now costs about $123 a year to own a 480 pound-capacity manual defrost freezer (about 1C cubic including depreciation, electricity, and average repairs. If you store and use only 480 pounds of food in your freezer during 1974, costs will work out to an average of HG cents per pound.

If you store 540 pounds, costs will drop to 23 cents a pound; and if you store and use 900 pounds of food, costs will drop to about 14 cents a pound. With a 480 pound-capacity freezer, you would have to use more than 900 pounds of frozen food a year and save more than 14 cents a pound on the food you buy for the freezer before it would begin to break even! Your bargains would have to average at least 22 cents a pound less than prices at the time you eat the food for you to come out ahead with a frost-free freezer! Will you store more thar. 900 pounds of food this year and each year in your freezer? Can you a i i a count on saving more than 14 cents a pound on the food you buy for your freezer as against regular prices (through buying specials, buying in bulk, freezing your home-grown produce, Here are a few more clues that will lead you to the key costs of operating a home freezer now: Depreciation: Figure this annual cost of one-fifteenth of the initial purchase price, including any finance charge. Electricity: If your local electric rates are, say, 4 cents per kilowatt hour, costs are $54 a year to keep a 450 to 500 pound freezer 80 per cent full. Repairs: Freezers are among the least troublesome appliances and repair costs normally average well under $5 a year.

Packaging: Typical costs of materials run 3 to 4 cents per pound of food you package and freeze yourself. Lost interest: This involves the money you lay out to buy the freezer and the large amounts of food with which to fill it- money which otherwise mighi be earning interest at today's juicy rales.
