The old fridge that came with the house has an issue with the doors not closing properly. Today the freezer door opened itself, again, and I decided that enough is enough, and we went to town to buy a new fridge, with doors that shut themselves. I didn't do any preliminary research, but went to the store thinking that it might cost around 10,000 Sek.

When we arrived I saw that some cost as little as 5 to 6,000. We'd measured my car to see how big a fridge can be to still fit, and saw one white for 6000 that looked quite ok. We also saw another, much larger one with two separate freezer drawers on bottom and double doors to a large fridge on top that we liked, but it had no price marked. So I assumed we couldn't afford it.

We told her we'd take the white, and she said they didn't have them in stock so it would be a week before we could have it... and I asked, curious, about the cost of the big black one, and she said it had no price marked because it was a return and someone had left fish in it, and they didn't notice till it had melted, so the freezer still smells a little.

Therefore, they were willing to sell it below normal price (which, according to the receipt was 16,096 sek, but I didn't find that out till later), and she went off to talk to someone and determine that price. In the meantime I did the math and determined that it has 1.6 x as much storage capacity as the white. Therefore, if they asked 10,000 sek or less it was the same price per liter. She came back and said 10,000, so we said we'd take it. They are also loaning us a trailer and straps, at no extra cost.


Edited to add: hours later, the fridge is in place, cooling down, and the obligatory FB photo has been posted: https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10226415517805112&id=1558503355&set=a.1922456231953&source=48&ref=bookmarks
