[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op her. Seeing some very small mini fridges for $50 on Amazon but those fit like 6 cans of drinks. The cheapest normal size one I can find is about $120. Hate the thought of spending that when we already are paying a ton to replace the fridge [/quote]

Those little bar fridges actually have some uses.  My mother lives alone, but periodically she hosts the family (three kids, three in-laws and four grandchildren).  We bought her a mini-fridge that we move to the garage when we aren't there.  When any of us come to visit, the main fridge gets full with food she cooks, leftovers when we go out for meals and bring back leftovers, etc.  So the mini-fridge has become the drink fridge.  We all buy drinks we want and we pack the mini fridge with the drinks and keep the main fridge for the food.

I also have one and we put it out with drinks and snacks that the kids can get self-serve.  When they were young (about pre-school years), we had yogurt tubes there, cut apple slices, cheese sticks, juice pouches.  We have a French door fridge so, the kids could not reach things in the fridge.  Also the door was heavier than they could pull open.  So the mini-fridge on a small end table was just the right height for them.  Pretty soon, you'll be able to use the mini-fridge to put things for the kid to grab themselves without opening the big fridge.

For parties, we put it out on the patio and we can have some drinks there and put others in a cooler on ice.
