Yep, fee creep hits everything now, not just internet.

outlasted my $180 Milwaukee" is too real, I've had the same thing happen with cheap grinders.

Ugh that frost layer is the worst, been there. The real fix is cooling them down fast before they hit the freezer, I stick my containers in an ice bath in the sink for like 30 min till theyre room temp, then leave a good inch of head space so the chili can expand without pushing liquid up top. Also try laying a piece of plastic wrap right on the surface of the chili before you snap the lid on, keeps the air off it. And dont stack em tight in the freezer, give em some room so cold air can move around.
