2 Appliance Related Tips To Ponder

-If you can turn down your fridge to the lowest setting, while still keeping foods at a cold temperature, you will help the amount of times your fridge is cutting in to keep extra cold, when you open the door.

- Keep a rainy day emergency fund for such things as appliance breakdown. Even if you can save $5-$10 every week, it's there in case you have a breakdown. Remember, that even if you don't buy new, a second hand appliance will at least set you back $100-$200. We keep an emergency fund- almost $900 in it- but we have had a few appliance repairs we have done from that money already- so we have dipped into it. But it's nice to know it's there.
