If you are turning off your fridge to save money, you likely do not have much in there to worry about going off.
Comment on Millions of UK households forced to unplug fridge to cope with rising bills
CameronDev@programming.dev 7 months agoThats if you turn it off entirely, which would make your food go bad and cost far more in spoiled food?
If they are jhst turning it on and off at peak times, its hardly going to save anything, as the fridge will work harder to reach temp again. Which also risks burning it out faster.
How can turning off the fridge make any sense? Unless its secondary fridges/freezers?

Sometimes, you're bombarded with stupid ideas from boomers, and at one point, you've to at least partially give in...

Ahh yes only boomers can be dumb. It could never be an idiot gen A. They are just so much smarter than everyone out there!

There is a huge trend in the media, and has been for a long time, to feature commentators from older generations lecturing younger generations on saving money in order to distract from the worsening economic situation for everyone (except the 1%)

Do you have any indication that this advice on fridge-freezers came from a 'boomer' - or indeed anywhere? Or are you just displaying your own prejudices?

Boomers sold their kids out because they think they are part of the big club when in reality they just provide political cover for the club in exchange for being permitted to own a house and having retirement.

Yes let’s blame people born around 2010 as they are clearly the problem for all the problems in the UK right now. Idiot…
