Wow, I am amazed at the number of people who don't need an extra freezer. I grew up in a household with two frig/freezer combos and a separate freezer. We always used all of those.
With my husband and I cooking from scratch, we definitely need another freezer (We don't need anymore refrigerator space.) We even have one of those special food sealers so that we can store food in the freezer without any damage. Making a double batch of something and freezing half is the quickest way for us to cook. And I would say nothing stays in our freezer longer than 3 months and we go through most things within a month or two.
For you though, it doesn't sounds like you really need it. If you ever want to know how much an appliance is costing you, you can always get a kill a watt. I have been tempted to get one but I solved our usage issues by simply turning everything off at night.
