Would it be economical to move all items from my fridge/freezer compartment to my new, larger upright freezer?

I bought a new Frigidaire upright , freezer, with the idea in mind to buy in bulk more, save money, and avoid so many trips to the store. I have no car, am very energy conscious, so I’d been walking to the store a lot, taking the bus, or borrowing my mom’s car for major trips. I got a good deal on this new freezer at a scratch & dent place, a 13.5 cu. ft. unit, that has an estimated operating energy cost of just over /yr. So far, we’re using only about a third of the freezer’s capacity (we’re a family of three), but I’ve only made one bulk shopping trip so far. We still have about that same amount of frozen food in our regular refrigerator-freezer compartment, just left in there what we already had. Would it make sense to just move all of that to the new freezer and turn the compartment off, or would that have an adverse effect on the fridge section? The new freezer is slightly less convenient to access, being in an unheated utility room through a door, down a step from our kitchen.

What is more energy efficient – having a freezer packed full of frozen food or keeping the freezer empty?

I assume that over time, having a freezer jam-packed with frozen food would leave less physical area inside the freezer to be chilled. The freezer would have less space to chill, thus conserving more energy than a freezer that is virtually empty.
In the short term, a freshly packed freezer filled with warm foods would obviously require more energy to chill this new food, but long term – is your electric bill going to be cheaper with a packed freezer?

Americans, can you help me please, freezer question?
