Stop using old “beater” appliances!

“Beater Appliances” Stop using old “beater” appliances! Did you know that old freezer in the basement costs $20 to $30 a month to run? With only 2 people in the household and the supermarket 2 miles away, it doesn’t make sense anymore. Same goes for the “beer” fridge in the garage, unplug it and use it only for major parties! If you must use the above, Keep them full of frozen water jugs. Once something is frozen, it is cheaper to keep it frozen than the air in the fridge, plus air escapes when you open the door.Consider buying a new small freezer if you have to have one.

Here’s a neat trick, freeze water jugs for free outside in the winter then always keep a couple thawing in your main fridge, it will run less. In essence you are turning your fridge into an “ice box” like the old days!
