If you’re pleased that your freezer isn’t filled to the gills with foods that you’ve stuffed in there and forgotten about, you might want to rethink that. Yes, a freezer that’s always full of food is carrying an inventory of edibles that cost a lot. But an empty freezer has to work much harder to stay cold than a filled one.
