As far as the money savings go, that is just an added bonus. My main goal for this setup was to reduce pollution. I use my power companies '100% wind " plan, but we all know that it just works much like a carbon offset program.
( And
encourages consumption by reducing the guilt factor )
I didn't include the picture of it here, but I am already using the actuall refrigerator section to store breads and nuts. It is ideal for that. ( But thanks for the tip anyways )
