Update: God placed it on someone’s heart to send us a huge meat package from Omaha Steaks! The order date was last week before we even knew our meats had been ruined. The package came today! I cannot even tell you how blessed we feel. God is taking care of us!

Our deep freezer quit working while we were on vacation and I had just bought tons of All Natural meat from a huge meat sale. I am going to have to get seriously creative with our food now if we are going to keep competing in the All You grocery contest. If you know of a meat sale, email me!

    Generally, you will have limited coverage for food spoilage. It’s $250 in the standard insurance form, but every company has its own policy. If you have your policy, you can look it up under Additional Coverages. If you’ve had a recent claim, talk to your agent before turning this one in, as you don’t want to have a claims frequency issue if you only have a little bit of coverage. (I’m an underwriter - the one who cancels insurance for such reasons…lol!) Hopefully you will have a lot of coverage for it and can restock!!! Good luck!

    We had a fire several years ago and i had 2 refrigerators and a very full deep freezer. All the food had to be thrown away since we had no power and they paid the full amount of ALL the food in the refrigerators/freezer as well as my very well stocked pantry and kitchen cabinets. Def give a call and find out your coverage! Deductible applies as with any claim, I’m sure.

    Sorry to hear about the freezer and all that meat. However like you said God is good and what a blessing that order of Omaha Steaks is. Praying for you and the family and the orderer of your special package.

    Sorry to hear that Lori!

    I just got my deep freezer (FREECYCLED). The person we got it from said it worked, and I believe it did because when my friend dropped it off, it had water coming from inside it. lol

    I hope you were able to replace your deep freezer. I hope your insurance paid for the food.

    My friends insurance covered her food when we were hit by Hurricane Katrina. Replaced all $500!! She has a big family and a big freezer and a deep freezer full all the time!
