Hmmm. I remember back in the 50's my parents rented out a small apartment on the second floor of our home. One young couple moved in during the winter and didn't have a refrigerator. They put a wooden box out on the porch roof and kept their perishibles in that box until they could get a small used fridge. That was the only time I've seen that done, but it is a very good idea! Also, storing things in your car. I guess a shed would work, too. My husband puts pies on the porch to cool but I'm always afraid a critter will come and get them.
On the farm, the summer kitchen was our outside freezer. When we moved to Boston, my father nailed a box to the outside sill of the window and that became our winter freezer.
