I think ours is 21 cubic feet. Old house, small kitchen, small
refrigerator nook.

OTOH, I must observe that, now that we try to eat better, we don't have
as much in our refrigerator or freezer. The 'fridge here contains a lot
of leftovers, sometimes things we cook in big batches on purpose, e.g.,
we usually buy sausage 3 lbs. at a time because they give you a $2/lb
break on the price at the local WF if you do that. But especially my
freezer doesn't have a whole lot in it these days.
