It went out around Thanksgiving just after I had made ahead all my meals for the next few weeks. It wasn't cold enough to salvage anything to keep outside and using the work fridge wasn't an option since it is barely big enough for each person's daily lunch.

I haven't gotten it fixed because I was out of town this weekend. Ever since, I have been living on powdered milk for my coffee and cereal and canned soup for dinner. I hope to get the fridge fixed this week, but honestly, I feel I can live without it. Tom My fridge died on me a week and a half ago. I haven’t gotten it fixed because I was out of town this weekend.

For instance, it lets me cook up big pots of good food which can last for a week without going bad. :) My grandmother didn't have refrigeration growing up, which leads to some interesting behaviors. Sometimes she forgets to put things in for a while "Because we didn't need this when I was young." But she forget that the items also didn't stay good. So one must pounce on the milk, eggs, etc at her house to make sure they're properly refrigerated. When I take the time to think about it, I absolutely love refrigeration!

Although I've never considered refrigeration as an "extra" in my budget, it does make very clear the fact that we usually need much less than we think we need. Good post, Mapgirl.
