It was time. The 20 Cubic Side by Side had enough freezer space to put half a cow but since we've been budgeting we rarely buy more than a week's worth of food at a time, though we do have a supply of about one week of drinking water and canned goods too. Our fridge was not an ENERGY SAVER and it had begun to groan and shake when it turned on. Also, when we entered the house we could smell something like air conditioning on in the winter. So, we decided to get a new, smaller, fridge.
We got a 18 Cubic Freezer on Top by GENERAL ELECTRIC. The refrigerator is MADE IN THE USA, cost about $600, has a two year warranty, and is an ENERGY SAVER.
The information on cost of running it was from 2007 - for 2014 we figure about $10 a month - maybe $15. That means our electric bill will be cut and that money will go towards the payment of the fridge. Our old fridge was hauled away in the process.
IT WAS NICE TO FIND A THANK YOU IN THE PAPERWORK that said
your GE Purchase supports the proud workforce in Decatur Alabama, in the package.

As always ASK "Is it made in the United States!"

WE'RE BACK! 2014 AND FRIENDS ARE UNEMPLOYED AND UNDEREMPLOYED
No - We haven't forgotten about YOU!
We haven't forgotten about STIMULATING THE ECONOMY OF THE UNITED STATES BY PRESERVING JOBS AND BUYING MADE IN THE USA!
We're back but we found the holidays challenging.
First the news that a friend of ours who was let go from a job where he had increased sales X5 was reaching the end of his unemployment.
Then the news that another friend of ours who had lost his business in 2007 and moved to Texas was back and looking for work, while living in an RV.
Both of these men are college educated and have worked for many years and are probably hitting into age discrimination. They have both taken jobs well beneath their education and experience in the past. And now? Will they join the homeless?
Our worries about the economy include concerns about the cost of living, in particular the cost of food, because of a long drought that may mean that some Californians will depend on water trucked in for drinking!
How can we SPEND when we too must BUDGET?
We're saying that if you have a dollar to spend, try to find that item, even if it's the DOLLAR STORE, that is MADE IN THE USA!
OTHERWISE, start learning CHINESE!
