$125/Month Renting Out Chest Freezer Space to Hunters

A Redditor had a big 20 cubic foot chest freezer in the garage, mostly holding frozen pizzas.

Then deer season rolled around, and they listed freezer storage on Facebook Marketplace for hunters who process their own deer but don’t have space.

📝 From their post…

charged $25 a month per section, nothing crazy. first season had 3 guys, all paid upfront, dropped off their vacuum sealed bags and i literally did nothing except make sure the freezer stayed on

Then came the surprise pivot 👀

two of them came back asking if i had space year round, turns out one of them buys half a cow every year from a local farm and the other does a lot of bulk grocery shopping

So they bought a second freezer. Now running 5 sections across 2 freezers at $25 each – $125/month.

Total effort…

the only real thing i do is send a group text in november reminding deer hunters their spot is available. thats it

Electricity runs about $10–13/month per freezer, so net profit is around $100/month 🤑

Potential to scale this nicely if you’re in the right area.

A new chest freezer runs $500–900. If you’re near hunters or bulk meat buyers, you might already be sitting on this idea 🤔
