We got a new refrigerator this morning. My sob story at Lowe's got us free delivery and a guarantee of being the first stop this morning. It wasn't cheap, but it only cost (with tax) $40 more than it would have cost to replace the compressor on the old one. It's nice. We got a bottom freezer unit, which puts the things you want most frequently in a more accessible location. I'm impressed with the refrigerator designs out there, although the cost turns me away. For another $200, we could have gotten a bottom-freezer unit where the whole freezer compartment was a slide-out bin. For about $500, we could have gotten french doors on the refrigerator section instead of one big door that swings open really wide. They're pretty cool, but I need to be saving for college.
