Home Economics 101
Welcome to the Home Ec Section. Matters of the family sometimes bring joy and other times bring grief. But it is never trivial: Family matters! Feel free to discuss topics such as the sanctity of marriage; the awesome responsibility of raising children; the struggles of communication problems; the grief of losing a loved one; or anything else that relates to the home and family. However, due to the more personal nature of this section, I ask that you would be especially thoughtful of the readers' feelings. My earnest hope and prayer is that the discussions in this section will help families grow in the love of Christ.
But remember, always play by the rules: here

A second hand store is a good idea. Usually you have to take it to a scrapyard or recycling center and they might even charge you to remove the freon and door.

oh hey check with your electric company. I just saw that my electric company will haul away older working fridges and give you a $50 credit. They say because newer fridges use only about half the electricity of 15 year old fridges (as an example)
I wonder why my electric company wants me to use LESS electricity and give them less money? it must be a conspiracy to steal our refrigerators!

But yeah the feds probably reimburse them.

(I realize that not all parts of the country allow competition among electric providers - in some areas, you're stuck with whoever is "the provider")The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
