Curious if this would have any noticeable energy savings. Basically thinking of taking old semi-disposable plastic containers (the ones that like deli meat, butter, etc come in), freezing them outdoors, and letting them defrost (absorb heat) in the fridge/freezer. Basically back to the “ice box” model.

Anybody doing that and/or have any results to share? Mostly curious if it would be worth the effort.

      I assume you can guess that my winter is likely colder than yours then.

          Actually I wasn’t sure. Hard to tell on the Internet. Some people really forget others exist who live in different circunstances than themselves.

      Earth is a big place with different types of climates. I can imagine some people not only want but need to warm their homes.
