A cool million.

I have a half empty handle of Jim Beam whose market value is approximately $12.

I sense an imminent rush on demand, which will strangely cause its value to decrease…

Since I keep a stock pile of Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey in the freezer….is that worth something? Being a liberal I also have some of that imported stuff – Haagen Daaz Chocolate….

I’m broke but happy in my freezer! ;^D

Um…$10,000. Why do you ask? I swear I don’t know how it got there.

Last I looked (yesterday) there was no money in there (waaah) but I did spot some nice thick cut Iowa chops and some bratwursts that are gonna hit the grill this coming weekend.

Oh, and an empty Old Crow bottle that I think ejmw somehow left there… still wondering how he got away with that. heh

I predict a rash of burgleries of the homes (and particularly the freezers) of congresscritters.

Of course, congresscritters are so smart they all will have already moved their cash … to their mattresses, where no-one will ever think to look.

I have at least a dozen half-loaves of bread, Grandma puts it in the freezer as soon as it starts to smell a little stale and then never checks it again. Does having a few hundred slices of bread in the freezer count?

Sounds like it counts to me… especially given that old slang meaning of bread. Funny how some people use their freezers as glorified trash cans. I knew a friend once whose mom was so terrified of taking her trash out that she refused to do it. She just put everything into the freezer and left it there. Dutiful son had to visit periodically to clean it out for her. Strange woman, that one.

  If you put scraps in the freezer, when they freeze they won’t smell. I’ll give you that you have put them out for p/u every week, but there is a good reason to pop them in the freezer. And considering it’s usually something you just ate, there’s nothing gross about it. 🙂

  I do all of the chores so it has nothing to do with trash. I think she believes that she will always have somewhat stale bread around if she goes broke and can’t afford food. She has a nice government retirement so it will never happen, but she grew up during the depression so I’m not going to tell her she’s being unreasonable either. Luckily, we have a full-size freezer on the back porch and another at my house so we have plenty of room.
