What is your ideal ratio of fridge to freezer space? And how many people in your household use it? My freezer is tiny and it's packed like a neutron star!
My fridge/freezer is like 70/30, and I really wish my freezer was at least 50% of the space of the fridge. My fridge is empty, my freezer is packed because I'm living solo right now and everything will go bad before I can eat it all. What would your dream fridge/freezer be like?

Even with a household of two, the standard 70/30 (fridge's favor) is not sufficient for buying frozen bulk. At the same time, vertical freezers aren't the most energy efficient, because the heavy cold air comes out when you open the door.
The best solution I've found is a dedicated fridge, and a chest freezer! Ideal ratio for me is around 60/40 in favor of the freezer, but unfortunately our current place is too small for a decent sized chest freezer.
I literally fantasize about having enough space in my home for a chest freezer.
They really sip power, too. Relevant Technology Connections video
God, I'd love a chest freezer. Definitely no space for one though. Maybe someday though :)
