11th Year Anniversary and a New Fridge (for the Next Decade?)

We are in our second brand new fridge in the eleven years of married life. We got our first fridge during our first year back in my home country.

We simply went to an appliance store, checked out what I liked, bought his brand of choice (LG) and had it delivered. We only used that one for a few months before we left for ROK. That fridge went through a lot of moving around until it we finally came back.

We were still able to use it for almost 7 years that we stayed in my hometown. The thing is it wasn't really in its top notch condition anymore. The water leaks whenever it is defrosted so I had to keep a close watch on the soda bottle that I put to catch and empty out when it's full or risk a flooding floor. 

When we first move to ROK, we just bought a second-hand fridge and it was cool for the three years of our stay. I'm sure it would have gone for another decade had we stayed on.

On our second move back here now, I really don't know why my hubby opted to buy a brand new one, albeit on the still on the cheaper end of the spectrum. I would have been happy with a second-hand one, from a leading brand. But here it is now, sitting, I should say, standing 6 inches taller than me that it makes me feel inferior in height. I would have preferred a just about my height, you know. This one is bigger that our previous one here, and definitely waayy bigger than what we bought as a newly married couple. Hubby says it's because we have a growing kid to think about. He'll have to eat a lot more food as he grows, etc. Come to think of it, I can still fit him inside this big fridge.

Hubby bought this online after we went and saw it at an appliance store. It was wayyy cheaper than to buy there outright. We merely check it out there to get the actual size and overall look of what's in the market for us. I was really so intimidated by the sizes of the latest fridge in market nowadays. I mean, what can one possibly put in those refrigerator without forgetting what you actually put inside. I can get lost inside those gigantic fridges.


I am more worried about the over-sized fridge and its accompanying bill, really. What I can possibly do now is just make the most of this one. Go freezer-cooking way to save on the produce costs since we live in a temperate country now. That is what I have to check on this time.

Off to my next task now.
