Maybe some of you have experienced your<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theorganicprepper.com\/how-to-be-chill-without-a-refrigerator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0fridge not working<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One of the most inconvenient things I\u2019ve had to adapt to is not having the means to keep my food cold. In Venezuela, I had a couple of fridges and a chest freezer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why don\u2019t you have a refrigerator?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The standard of living here is just different. With the cost of energy here, having a laundry machine is not worth it. This country has the potential for hydroelectric, but that would require energy transporting.

Perhaps some of you have even acquired extra refrigerators and other supplies in the event that you should need them. Where I am, and in my current situation, that is not possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you manage without a refrigerator?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The grocery store is within walking distance, and I can walk to the Mom and Pop shop around the corner. Living without a fridge means I have to do that nearly every day if I buy foods that need refrigeration. I don\u2019t want to have to do that, but I will do what is necessary to feed my boy and myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What It\u2019s Like to Live Without a Refrigerator and How to Adapt Have you ever wondered what you would do if you had food items that needed to be kept refrigerated, but did not have a refrigerator or even a cooler?
