The Fridge Cometh

Our fridge has gone bonkers. It freezes all our groceries. Time for a new fridge. In fact, it is time to accelerate the plan to get a stand alone fridge. We got a unit that is all freezer. We love it. Time to do the same for the fridge.

There is a problem though. An appliance that is just a fridge is a specialty item. There are not a lot of them out there. And they are expensive. Finally, it is hard or impossible to get one in a color that matches our other appliances.

I needed to take a look a fridges to figure out how big a fridge we need. Momoko and I went shopping at Sears this weekend. They had exactly one stand alone fridge. It was white and too small. Two strikes against it. But we did see appliances like freezers that helped us figure out how big our fridge needs to be (19 cubic feet).

Momoko did some research online. The top of the line fridge costs $2000. Looking at the pricing of fridge/freezers, I decided that was way too much. We found another fridge for $1200. It was the right size. The color was not right. The price was still high. But we got to stop the groceries getting ruined by the cold.

I actually ordered from Amazon. The seller used Amazon as a store front. And they used "A&B Shipping" to get it to the house. Today I got a message from A&B. Our fridge arrives tomorrow. We already cleared and cleaned out a space for the fridge in the kitchen.
