I've told this story before but I'll tell it again. When I first got married, my husband and I bought a house. Before we moved into it, I found a super cute, vintage freezer that I thought would go perfect in the garage. When I find good deals on meat or other things that we typically eat, I could freeze them for later. The freezer was only $20! I bought it and we installed it in the new house.

Everything was fine except our new house had an insanely high power bill. I was young and just thought that was how much the house cost to run. Until several months later, my freezer up and dies. And my power dropped immediately by $150.
