If you have a large family, frequently host parties, or you like to buy in bulk, you may have made the decision to purchase a garage refrigerator. This appliance serves as a secondary fridge or freezer to store food items and beverages that do not fit in your kitchen unit. Because an additional refrigerator can be an expense to purchase and maintain, you want to make the most of this appliance to get your money’s worth.

Continue reading below as staff from Honest & Fair Appliance Repair, an appliance repair services center in Monroe, NY, lists five ways to get the most out of your garage refrigerator:

1. Store Ice & Beverages for Parties

When hosting a party, you typically need to purchase additional items you do not have readily available in your home. These items may include large amounts of ice, cold cut platters, and beer. Having a garage refrigerator ensures you’ll have enough space to keep these items without having to clear out your everyday fridge.

2. Keep Ready-Made Meals

Prepping your meals for the week is a great way to save time and stay healthy. However, ready-made meals can take up a lot of room and create clutter in your fridge. With a second refrigerator, you’ll have more than enough room to conveniently store these pre-made options until you are ready to eat them.

3. House Large Amounts of Meat

Purchasing meat from a wholesale supermarket such as Costco or BJ’s is much more economical than buying small cuts every day. Unfortunately, the economic convenience of this can be overshadowed if you struggle to fit the meat in your fridge. An additional fridge or freezer provides you with enough storage space to keep your meat cool and fresh until it is time to cook.

4. Buy Ice Cream & Frozen Treats in Bulk

Having plenty of ice cream and frozen treats is a great choice during the summer, especially if you have a large family. Unfortunately, the standard freezer portion of most refrigerators is too small to hold more than one or two cartons of ice cream. With a secondary freezer in your garage, you can purchase ice cream in bulk and enjoy delicious frozen treats all summer long.

5. Makeshift Wine Cooler

applianceTemperature control is important when it comes to wine and other spirits. While appliances such as wine coolers help to keep these beverages at the ideal temperature, they can often be just as expensive as purchasing an additional refrigerator. You can set the desired temperature on your garage refrigerator and use it to store your wine, vodka, and other spirits as needed without breaking the budget.
