Those of you who have more than one fridge...

Do you feel it's necessary, or frivolous?

Do you keep different things in each of them?

I'm working on my case - DH doesn't think we need one.

I do not have two, but really, really want another and I live by myself. There are more times than not, that it would be a big help even just for myself. I cook several different things during the week for my suppers and lunches to bring to work, and by the times I get some containers in the fridge and freezer, I could still use a little more room. It would also be awesome for when I have overnite company.

I say you need another one! Ha!

We only have one b/c we replaced the one in our kitchen and kept the old one in the garage. It is handy for storing beverages and at Christmas when we have extra food (since all the family comes to my house). I think we could live without it if something happened to it and wouldn't bother getting another.

I have another smaller refrigerator out in the garage. As our family has grown we have out grown our refrigerator in the kitchen and where it is located we can't fit a bigger one. I put all the bigger items in it .Gallons of milk, soda's, bottle water, not to mention Thanksgiving pies, the turkey. I love it.

We have two; we kept mom’s when we moved into the family home after she died. We put ours in the garage and mainly use it for water, Gatorade, other beverages, etc. The ice maker not even hooked up and hardly anything in the freezer.

After it dies we won’t have a second one.

i not only have my refrigerator/freezer in my kitchen, i have an extra refigerator/freezer AND a freezer in my garage. i love keeping my inside refrigerator neat and clean. having the backup outside for leftovers, multiples, sodas/water/beer is quite handy, especially during the holidays and if you entertain. believe me, they all get used! for me, it is necessary.

We have two and we need two.

The refrigerator in the garage has mostly soda, juices, beer, wine and fruit. We have been going to the New York finger lakes and buying wine, cheese and cider from all different places. And some of the ciders have to be refrigerated. So does beer once refrigerated it has to stay refrigerated.

So I am glad to have the second refrigerator. It also comes in handy during the holidays. We have my brothers staying at our house for a number of days and so there is lots of food to prepare.

I didn't know how badly I needed two until we got a new french door fridge a few years ago and put the old one in the garage. I use it for extra beverages that I want to keep cold, large bags of lemons and other produce that we get at Costco and lots of other things. The freezer in that fridge is handy to have also because I like to freeze baked goods and I can also use it for frozen things that don't really need to be handy in the kitchen.

I also have a medium size chest freezer in the garage. We are big on buying meat in quantity when it's on sale and my DH loves all the frozen snack foods that come in big boxes at Costco.

Having extra fridge and freezer space is a luxury that makes life a lot easier.

He's probably not the one who has to look for things in a crowded fridge and rearrange everything to fit is he? LOL!
