Costco Is Selling a Bulk Storage Essential at an Unbeatable Price, and Shoppers Are Racing to Grab It

The secret to shopping at Costco is being diligent about cross-checking items online with what’s available in store. You never know how deep the discounts might flow, and sometimes, something not showing a markdown in store might actually be significantly cheaper than its online retail price.

Case in point, a recent arrival at select warehouse locations that comes with a massive price cut while adding versatility and extra functionality to year-round food storage. Originally retailing for $289.99 and currently priced at $189.99 in stores, the Frigidaire Garage Ready Convertible Chest Freezer is the perfect home upgrade for big families, man caves, back patios, bar setups and so much more.

Anyone who shops at Costco regularly will tell you that while the deals come in often, they also come in fast. If you blink, something you had your eye on will be gone in a second. And when it comes to major home upgrades that serve a purpose across a variety of spaces, it doesn’t get much better than finding one at an unbeatable price.

In the case of the Frigidaire Garage Ready Convertible Chest Freezer, its black granite finish and sleek, slim and tall design make it easy to integrate into a range of spaces. It allows users to avoid overfilling their kitchen freezer and instead store frozen appetizers, treats, meals, meats and more in a dedicated space that’s easy to access and keeps items frozen fresh year-round.

Sporting a classic black granite finish, the freezer features a temperature range of -24 to 41 degrees depending on the setting, a 7 cubic foot capacity, manual defrost function, easy-to-clean aluminum liner, mechanical temperature control and a convenient defrost drain for easier cleaning and transport. In total, when empty, it weighs roughly 62 pounds and measures 33.3 inches tall, 32.6 inches wide and 21.9 inches deep.

What Fans Are Saying

“Perfect for stocking up on bulk Costco hauls, meal prep or storing meats and frozen finds,” @costcofam4u captioned their post after spotting the freezer in store.

Others who’ve already brought it home were quick to share how they’re using it in real life. “I bought this for my rooftop bar and love it,” one viewer exclaimed. “We already have it half full,” another responded after claiming having bought one just a “few weeks ago.”

Functionality was a common theme among fans. “My boyfriend talked me into the stand-up so I’m not bending over digging in looking for something and it being in the bottom and it’s the best advice I was ever given,” another fan chimed in, “GET THE UPRIGHT!”

Others echoed its practicality for everyday storage, commenting on it being ideal for “stocking up on meat” for big families, while one specific viewer was clearly thinking outside of the box: “Turn it into a kegerator.”

Equipped with a removable wire basket for easy organization, a power-on indicator light for quick status checks and an external door handle with a built-in lock for added security, this handy freezer has all the bells and whistles of a solid stand-up unit. The seven-setting adjustable thermostat allows for precise temperature control, while its flat-back design makes it easy to position in tighter spaces like garages, basements and utility areas or even smaller apartments.

Snag this deal while it’s still hot, and while you’re at it, keep your eyes peeled for Costco’s recent New Balance drop and stylish new multi-use console.
