While we were signing the lease of our new West Hollywood apartment we discovered that the apartment doesn't come with a refrigerator. Apparently it's a common occurrence in big cities but still. WTF? Why not provide your tenants a refrigerator? Do they really require that much maintenance? So, we went to Best Buy today to scope out a cheap one which came in around $500 (plus $30 for delivery). Completely unaffordable after we had to pay close to $3000 before we could move in.
While eating my one dollar taquito at El Pollo Loco on a rougher side of town I remembered all the appliance stores in the areas I grew up where they sold used appliances. I figured Los Angeles must have something comparable and it turned out (thanks to Nicole's super amazing iphone) there was a used appliance store two blocks away!
We were in and out in 15 minutes with a used refrigerator that cost us $220 and came with free delivery!! Phew. Now, to just pack the rest of our junk before the moving truck arrives on Monday.
