As mentioned in other posts, cryovacing food to be kept at fridge temps lasts for many weeks, if not months.
I used to run my 45lt fridge at about -1 / -2, it cycles from -3 to 1, and with zip locked frozen bags around the outside, beer and general food inside, this lasts a good fortnight safely as it defrosts slowly.
I now have a Waeco cdf11 too, and on longer trips use this as a freezer.
It is small in size, but stacking meals food in order from the front to back, it holds a good 3 - 4 weeks of frozen meats for mains and bacon for the odd breaky.
Yes, these small fridge / freezers are frighteningly expensive for their size, but understandable, probably use same internal main components, or specially made smaller versions as their larger cousins.
I scored the Waeco 11lt (actual is 10.5lt) for $440, which is about the lowest cost as you will find.
Saw another from Bushman the other day, 15lt.

But at $895 it's getting hard to justify !!
Very hard to find sizes under 35lt to 40lt, and when you do they are relatively much more expensive than your typical 60lt.
