Tip 52: Sell unneeded appliances

That extra refrigerator or freezer in the garage uses lots of electricity. If the electricity goes out or if your appliance fails, you could lose a lot of food. Plus, you could sell the extra appliance and get some cash. Depending on the efficiency and size, it can cost $100 to $200 per year to run a refrigerator. This expense adds up over the years. Do you really need a refrigerator in your garage?

Some people make good use of a second refrigerator or freezer to stock up on bargain food. If you do this regularly, it may be worth the expense of running an extra appliance. Otherwise, consider getting rid of extra appliances to save on your electric bill and gain some space.
