On: Engineer eats efficiently for $2.50 a day (2016)

A french door refrigerator with ice maker costs about $25 per month to run.

If your budget is $2.50 per day for food (or $3.30 adjusted for inflation) that's significant.

If your budget is $2.50 per day for food then you are probably looking for much cheaper options for a refrigerator. I understand it's possible to buy small chest freezers and convert them to run at fridge temperatures and they're very efficient that way.

Maybe if you bought it in 2005.

I'm guessing that American refrigerators are like American cars?

Of course, if you were trying to save money, you would get a chest-style fridge where all of the cold air doesn't fall out every time you open the door.
