New If it were already frozen I might keep it that way
But for a big hunk of meat freezing it can take a while, which gives ice crystals time to form, which changes the texture of the meat. Unless you've got a blast freezer I wouldn't try to freeze a rib roast.

New I agree

New understood, but that's not what happened here
M brought a refrigerated one home a couple of weeks ago and said stick this in the freezer. We have a 30 below deep freeze and I shove it up against the wall. I assume if froze fast enough because it was ass kicking. Two days before we took it out of the freezer and put in the fridge but it was still pretty rock solid. Then we put it in a cooler full of cold water and let it cold water defrost. It was perfect the next day.
New 30 below is super cold, guess the fans are optional at that point

New And here we go again, enjoying
M goes to the grocery store everyday. She looks at the roasts. She sees $90 eight bone roasts. It ain't happening. And then they go to $50. Still not good enough. Two days later they're 25 bucks. Last one grab it, straight to the freezer, it'll be great.
New Holy crap, grab me a couple

New Wife finds them often <$10/lb at GFS
I wouldn't want this to be an every week thing, but I've told her any time she sees them under $6/lb, buy all they have.

New I'm going to need some serious salad after this one.
We have four people in the house. It seems I'm the only person who ever eats the next day leftovers. The last one lasted about three days for me. This one is double in size compared to the last one. I don't know if I can survive steak for 10 days since I'll be the only one eating it.

This one is about 10 lb for $25.

I had never done it before the last one. I screwed up one and M dropped one in a crock pot. It was painful to realize. So after the last one came out perfect I fell in love and will spend the rest of my life trying to recreate it.

M is in the rare position of shopping daily. The supermarket is right across from her work which is required to go to. So she monitors them everyday.

Kind of like cans of Sprite zero. This is the only soda I drink. Except Coke decided to stop distributing it in the area except for limited quantities. So I drink water. And yesterday M found it for the first time in months and at a reasonable price so bought it all. That s***'s heavy.
New If you've got a slicer (or a friend who has one) ...
Shave the leftovers that you can't get through, freeze in 8 oz portions, keep for cheesesteaks.

New The article doesn't state a temperature
My freezer might qualify. Get a cold chest freezer if you can, they are really cheap to run.
