Going fridgeless

While some 'dwellers love their refrigerators, others prefer a simpler and less expensive approach.

Vegetarians are one subgroup associated with fridglessness since they don't need refrigeration to keep meat.

benefits

Going without refrigeration:

  • saves space – unless a refrigerator is packed full it is wasting space you could use some other way.
  • eliminates a $400-$1000 purchase – compressor fridges are very expensive.
  • consumes zero power instead of the 20Ah/day consumption of a good compressor unit.

challenges

Fresh vegetable, fruits, meats, and leftovers can't be kept for very long. It may be best to eat fresh foods the day you bring them home from the market.
