So you find this over sized fridge on sale. Great! But is it worth it for you family’s needs? So many times hear buy it large! Yes sometimes that is right. For my parents when I was growing up it would have saved us money. There are seven of us kids. Plus my mom and dad. Now that we are all grown and out of the home that same fridge will cost them more money to use it then to get a smaller one. If you have a large family then yes it will save you money then a smaller frigde as it will not have to work as hard to keep your food fresh and cool. As to if you get a smaller one and keep it packed all time. I hear alot that it’s all the same. Then I say no a small fridge energy use does not make up for the fact that it cannot hold very many items. The more you fill it the easier it is to over fill it. When you over or under fill it you make that item work harder. So is that money that you are saving now going to be worth it on your energy bill?
