Ziegamomma, I bought an all fridge type a couple of years ago. When I bought this house I live in now I did buy the french style for the kitchen and moved the old one down to the basement for extra storage. I also purchased a new freezer that can be either a freezer or fridge. When the old fridge died when we had a power surge I decided to buy another fridge/freezer again but made it into just a fridge. I keep all my old bread for the birds in it along with dry pasta, sugar, flour and baking chips. As I came from Florida I found that anything with flour in it such as pasta, cake mixes, etc. tend to have bug eggs in them so in time with the humidity and heat, they would hatch. Freezing or refridgation seemed to kill the eggs so when I moved up here, I just continued to do the same though Iowa doesn't seem to have the same problems. Also by buying the same model, if my freezer dies in the future, I can always change out the fridge one to freezer.
