When we moved into our new house (need to post about this, but we're about to fix the kitchen, so maybe after that), it came with an old but neat fridge that we actually liked. It was a step up from our super simple one at our old rental. We loved the door feature where you could pop it open to access milk that the kids frequently ask for.
Sadly, this past Sunday, it died. This was right after my parents arrived, and with 2 kids, no fridge is really bad news. We got two coolers going, buying ice daily, but I still threw away a lot of stuff, and it wasn't fun.
Luckily, our real estate agent Diane Hourany, kindly got us a home warranty as a gift, and did it pay off! With over $2k coming in the mail, we set out to get a new fridge .
I've never bought a new fridge, and never had such a fancy one, and while a bit stressful, with a very competent sales guy at Lowe's, we found a perfect one that in the end, is costing us very little thanks to the insurance. The new one has extra drawers and all new ways to organize food. I'm delighted. And while bigger and better, the cost of running this thing is sure to be much cheaper than our 1987 old fridge : )
Just wanted to share my happiness about this!
p.s. while cleaning off the stuff on the old fridge, I found this old but special purikura sticker when T was about 4 visiting Japan:
We just got a new fridge too! I never imagined it could be an exciting event. ;) I guess it depends how old your old one is!! Yours was nearly 30 years old! Not to one up you, but ours = 40 years old! It's like, stepping into the future. ;)
