I wouldn't do it. Use the milk jugs filled with water

That just doesn't sound right. I'd replace them with something else. I like the water jug idea. I just wish I had freezer space!

I haven't put anything in the freezer yet. Just checking out the possibilities. I don't have any jugs yet, but will use them as soon as I get some thanks for all your comments.

Another advantage to jugs of water is that if hte power goes out, they'll help keep the food frozen until the power comes back on.

no, because of condensation/moisture. They even say do not keep ground coffee in the fridge/freezer for this same reason.

the water jugs would do the trick. I have not heard of putting quilts in a working freezer. hmmmm no, don't think I would do it.

I would NOT put quilts - wrapped or unwrapped - into anything that had moisture involved. Just not worth the worry of meltdowns and mildew...it takes one small speck of "dirt" to start that up!

To "fill the freezer" for economical electric savings, I've also used gallon milk jugs with water... but not all the way to the top. Remember our science lessons?

Good luck with all your extra room!!!

Along this thread of freezers, can anyone advise how to keep the freezer working properly in real real cold weather. The thermostat gets all confused on the freezer in the garage when our temps go down. We just finished a couple of weeks of single digits and minus temps, and the freezer goes into reverse and everything starts to thaw. I have adjusted the thermostat up and down, but each winter it's the same old story. The manufacturer has no answers. It is a side by side that's getting confused. Our upright solo freezer seems to stay frozen. Do any of you ladies in the cold belt of the country and up in Canada that have freezers in the garage have this happen? and do you have a solution?
Thanks

I have heard that a full freezer is more economical than a half empty one. I was told just put old newspapers in there til you need the space. I would hesitate to put a quilt in for fear of moisture issues, but newspapers, magazines, water or milk jugs. Good luck
