I feel so grown up

[Cat]

Because I have to go out and by my first fridge. The one the previous owners left here finally died.
Thankfully I live off of mostly non-perishables (I horde food), so there won't be much wastage. My fake meat and cheese might go (and that stuff ain't cheap) and I GUESS we'll have to drink the beer quicker...

About to pop down to the connivence store and stock up on ice......turning the freezer section in an icebox til I get a chance to get a new one.

If the perishable stuff went over 40 degrees for more than 2 hours, I'd throw it out. Otherwise, cook it and then freeze it.

No freezer And it was still cool to the touch....everything right now is trapped in the freezer surrounded by ice. Though I'm thinking the veg-meat/cheese is a loss.

And people mock my can-hording habits! HA!! I still have tons of beans...and they are cheap

Ugh. My fridge died a few weeks ago...except I live in an apartment so I don't have the option of picking out a new fridge. They fixed it the next day (didn't find out until roomie got home from work) but we had to throw out a lot of stuff.

Hopefully come November I will have my own place and my very own fridge

I recently sold the fridge that came with the house I bought. I had picked a new one up at an auction for dirt cheap. It's a full sized fridge instead of a combo fridge.

Sold the combo fridge for $25. ^_^ I didn't care what I got for it, I just wanted to get rid of it.

I sold it on craigslist, you may want to look there for a "new" fridge to save yourself some dough.

We found a decent one from Lowes for less than $300, with free delivery and pick up of the old one. Will probably go with that is the old fridge cannot be fixed.

[Evil Queen]

Lucky you, living in the delivery area of a Lowe's. They refused to deliver even after telling them the fridge I wanted (over $800) and offering to pay for delivery.

The freezer seems to be trying to come back......either way.....we are feasting on the fake-meats and cheese today

I bought my 'fridge from Sears...waaaay back in 2006 or so. The ancient one that came with the house was wearing out, and I wasn't about to waste any more food. Rather than fix it, it had to go. Problem was, that it had to fit between the wall and counter, and under an overhead cabinet. After much searching and measuring, I found a Kenmore that fit my needs. 5 years on, I've had no problems with it.

Now the stove...is another story. That piece of shit needs to die. It's older than I am, and in a *lovely* shade of 1970s yellow. The clock doesn't work, and the oven light doesn't either. In fact, I had to rig up a dial thermometer in there...because the beast no longer "dings" when it hits 400 F. That thing will be replaced soon. Trust me.

Must be from the Sears Harvest Gold series that was popular back when I was born.

I love the vintage stuff like that . . .if I had the room in my kitchen, I'd have one of these.

[protege]

It's gold...but not from Sears. It's an old Tappan "Gallery" model. Oh, and it's not "vintage" either. Trust me, it's junk

I have a lovely avacado green sink...with a separate tiny sink in the top right that holds the garbage disposal....

Part of the refund from our first joint return, went to buy a new fridge. Actually it was a retired floor sample that we bought at a Sears outlet store. Needless to say, we got quite a deal on it--marked down to 1/4 normal price because of a cosmetic blemish that you need a bright light to even detect.

[MoonCat]

Sears Kenmore is a good brand. We decided to go with that one after we heard about a fridge that got washed out of a house during a flood...the owners found it, dried it out, and it still worked.
