Yes, if you have space, those double-door fridge-freezers are great. I have an extra chest freezer too, which is full of seasonal fruit, bought in huge quantities and frozen to make ice-cream for the rest of the year. Strawberries and mangoes, mostly. BUt that's not exactly part of the emergency survival kit...

One can live a long time on rice, beans, carrots and onions with a bit of bacon or dried mushroom for flavour, as I recall from my student days.

We're almost certainly going to have to settle for one which is fridge section above freezer section, single width. But that will still massively increase our storage.
