I've just checked the instructions on my chest freezer:

Switch on fast freeze 24hours before the freezing of fresh food is to be effected. The temperature will be lowered to about -25C

Remember to switch off the fast freeze switch when the quick freezing is completed.

So if you left it on the freezer will be doing its nuts off all the time and costing you extra money.

Even cheaper if you let the shop store your frozen food and go and buy it as and when required, a bit more hassle obviously but people are going to have to change many of their habits in order to survive in the future, especially when mortgage rates start to shoot up.
Better still, do what people did in the past before they had a freezer, eat natural fresh food.
