If I could have found one only a year or two old for a couple of hundred dollars, that would have been great. The slightly used ones readily available around here are as much as a new one. Because there is still a lot of construction ongoing from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, used appliances are selling like hotcakes around here at premium prices compared to what you can get new. Lowe's, Home Depot, and Sears have cut their prices here to compete with the used market. I have no way of getting a used refrigerator from where ever it is to my house and getting the old one removed. I don't know anyone who is physically capable of moving one. The last time I had to have stuff moved I had to call a local moving company to do it, and it wasn't cheap. It's easier for me to make the money back quickly than to try to get a used refrigerator. I'm adding at least 3 hours a week to my tutoring schedule, and I'll have the difference paid back to me in less than 8 weeks. As I've said before, $700 isn't going to make even a small dent in my total debt picture. Please read my previous posts about it. I'm working hard on finding a new vocation that I can turn into a large salary that will make a dent in what I owe.

A used appliance store, craigslist, or even ebay (local) could be good sources of fridges for less than $200. Then the rest of that money could be used to pay off some of that debt you owe.
