Unless you're into serious eco-living, a refrigerator is a must-have item. But seriously frugal shoppers can find seriously good cheap refrigerators in one of three configurations: top freezer, bottom freezer, and side-by-side. The final decision will depend on space considerations (both in your kitchen and in the width of the internal storage space), and whether you prefer to bend down to reach fresh foods or frozen foods. Other factors to consider are energy efficiency; two of the cheap refrigerators on our list are Energy Star Qualified and two are not.
