Why would they do that? Refrigerators are incredibly efficient and cheap to run and are a modern miracle of extending food shelf life/

Because "POOR PEOPLE" have so much stuff! Why do they have so much stuff if they're poor!

I mean they should really be more frugal. Having a refrigerator is clearly a ridiculous luxury.

Is there anything someone can do to save money and stretch their budget farther, or are we saying that's all off base?

I'm saying it's blaming the victim to assume the problem is that they aren't frugal enough.

No. Actually should get more freezer space if possible. So can buy in bulk on offer and freeze.

You clearly have never been broke and are clueless!!!
