Today, I bought $250 worth of groceries and was feeling rather good about myself because it's the first time I've been able to do so in months. When I returned home I found my fridge/freezer broken. Most of the food I bought was dairy or frozen. FML

Better get to eating Op. Btw that is a ton of groceries, especially if you live by yourself

I'd scream if that happened to me. My whole day would be udderly sour, and there's a 2% chance that I'd milk it for all it's worth. I hope you were able to moove your stuff to a working refrigerator. Sit on the cowch and hope tomorrow is a butter day. Good luck.

Maybe they have a big family and need that much.

Perhaps they do not go shopping often because they have odd work hours or a busy schedule?

Lol no we spend 190. Sometimes & we dont even buy everything we wanted, only me (15 year old) my 8 yr old bro my 4 yr old sis & my mom. None of us our overweight at all

groceries are expensive. I buy food just for myself and the total never seizes to amaze me. i guess if you want to live off of ramen noodles then thats a completely different story. have it 3x a day and youll spend no more than $5-$10 a week. you want vegetables, meats and dairy? itll add up

I spend anywhere from $150-200 for just my husband and I.

Damn better hurry up and get it fix before the food spoils OP

Op could ask a friend or his parents if he could store them in their fridge/freezer until he gets things figured out.

Eat some of it and get it repaired, ask someone no shame in it.

You could ask one of your neighbors to let you keep your groceries at their place until you get your refrigerator fixed! I'm sure they'll understand.

Unless OPs neighbors are assholes and say no or steal his food...

or maybe they don't have the space to spare...

I wouldn't let it go to waste. Ask a friend or a neighbor if you can borrow some space in their refrigerator until you can buy or rent a replacement, and you'll agree to split the food with them.

Id invest in a cooler while you figure things out, good luck!

I don't understand why this was thumbed down so much. It's a good suggestion.

I've had this happen to me. Buy a lot of ice (5 or 6 of those party-sized bags) and pack them in among your food. It should keep things from spoiling until you can get someone in to fix it.

Also, it sounds like the stupidly obvious thing to do, but my fridge fixed itself by unplugging it for an hour and then plugging it back in. It's worth a try.

Not stupid, they need to defrost every now and then :)

I say you call some friends over and eat what you can before it goes bad :)
