Idk man, the real hidden cost isn't the freezer itself, it's the power bill in Phoenix. A chest freezer running in a 110 degree garage is gonna work way harder than one in an air conditioned house, so keep that in mind before you stack up five of them out there. My buddy had his in the garage and his summer bill jumped like 30 bucks a month just from that thing. Throw it inside if you can, or at least shade it. Still way cheaper than letting meat go bad, but the math changes a bit.

Paper is paper. The dots don't do the work, you do. People just like buying pretty things and calling it a system.

Have you ever watched a guy kick hard as hell and go nowhere? I read a piece from some tech diving guy a while back that said 90 percent of fin problems are really body position problems, and that matched what I saw on that boat. The greenhorn was head up, knees bent, basically doing a bicycle kick, so no fin on earth was gonna save his air. The other guy was flat in the water, legs straight, small slow kicks, same cheap fins, and he came up with half a tank. Stiff blades can help if your legs are already in the right spot, but they also make bad trim worse because you're fighting more surface area. So I'd say fix the trim first, then think about fins, because spending 150 bucks on blades won't do a thing for a guy who's basically swimming upright.
