15 Fridge Mistakes That Are Costing You $100 a Month

Let me be honest about the number first. A refrigerator costs roughly five to fifteen dollars a month to run. The hundred dollars is mostly food you're throwing away. So this covers both, and the expensive half is the food. In this video: why the dial on your fridge is a setting rather than a temperature, and why a thermometer is the most useful thing in this video. Milk and eggs in the door, which is the warmest spot. Packing it so full that air can't circulate. Coils thick with dust. A door seal that no longer grips. Hot food going straight in. Raw meat stored above ready-to-eat food. The humidity sliders on the drawers that almost nobody understands. And the things that don't belong in there at all. Then the three that actually cost the hundred: no system so food dies at the back, throwing things out over a best-before date, and shopping without looking in the fridge first. 📘 When the Lights Go Out.
