PlotEdit

Aunt Bee stores a side of beef in a faulty freezer.

SummaryEdit

Aunt Bee's bargain shopping gets out of control. Diamond Jim's, a new butcher shop, opens and Aunt Bee heads there hunting for a bargain. She walks out with a side of beef to put in her "bargain" freezer that she discovers doesn't work. Now stuck with a freezer full of 150lbs of thawing beef, she must return to Mr. Foley for help, but even though Foley offers to store the meat, Andy won't allow it. Andy buys a brand-new freezer for Aunt Bee instead.

Notes/TriviaEdit

• In the episode we see Opie shirtless. This one of the only times in the entire series that we see a character without a shirt. We actually see one other character shirtless - in Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bee we see Briscoe Darling sitting in a washtub taking a bath with no shirt!
• Though the front porch is often shown this episode marks the first appearance of the Taylor's back porch. In an earlier episode Mr. McBeevee (episode) the back door (the door out of the kitchen) opened up directly into the back yard.
