I only had space for a small one then and knew I would be moving eventually and probably would have space for a big one, so I went without a fridge for almost a whole year! I lost a lot of weight and took a long walk every day to purchase just what I needed for that day. Now I have a big beautiful fridge and it seems like a blessing but sometimes I miss those daily walks. Glad it all worked out so well for you!Stickup Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028394186285973772noreply@blogger.com
