Today, I bought $250 worth of groceries and was feeling rather good about myself because it's the first time I've been able to do so in months. When I returned home I found my fridge/freezer broken. Most of the food I bought was dairy or frozen. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard that there was supposed to be a huge blizzard heading our way, so I went out to stock up on groceries. After spending $600 on food, I drove home and packed most of it into the fridge and freezer just in time for our power to go out. FML
Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML
Today, I got home an hour late from to find that my roommate had left the fridge open for the entire 8 hours. The kicker is that I was an hour late because I was at the grocery store, not buying the things that were getting ruined because I thought we had some. FML
Today, I spent almost an hour cleaning and scrubbing the inside of my fridge. Just when I'd finished putting everything back inside, I tipped over the open milk carton. FML
Today, I went out to get groceries and ice-cream. When I got home, I couldn't find my house keys. I retraced my steps, but with no luck. I returned home and had to break in. While unpacking, I found my keys in the bag, right next to the completely melted ice cream. FML
Today, it has been 57 hours since I have last had food. The fridge is empty. The freezer is empty. The pantry is empty. Even my bank account is empty because my pay has been delayed. Again. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping. When I got to the frozen foods, I saw some Lean Pockets, which I haven't had in forever, so I bought a couple of boxes. Around lunch time, I was hungry and thought I could have some, until I realized why I stopped buying them: I don't have a microwave. FML
Today, my refrigerator defrosted itself. FML
Today, I opened my fridge. It's entire contents: half a takeaway meal and 4 bottles of wine. FML
Today, I realized my wallet was missing right as I went to pay for my groceries. I frantically searched the store, retraced my steps, and finally found it. It was inside a freezer, where I'd apparently placed it in when I was grabbing ice cream five minutes earlier. FML

I'd scream if that happened to me. My whole day would be udderly sour, and there's a 2% chance that I'd milk it for all it's worth. I hope you were able to moove your stuff to a working refrigerator. Sit on the cowch and hope tomorrow is a butter day. Good luck.

I don't see why you'd need that much worth of food unless you have a very large family. I can feed myself for a week with 20euros, my family of 5 can be fed with 60euros. I spend 20 on junk food really, they spend their 60 on healthy, proper food, that's why it seems like I spend a lot on myself. If i just bough healthy food it'd cost even less. Were you buying foie gras and venison or something?

How in the hell did you manage to spend 250 bucks on dairy and frozen food items

Sympathies, OP. When that happened, I asked the store if they would store the food temporarily. They said OK, and that they get a call like this every week or so.

Take ten bucks, get a couple styrofoam coolers and a couple pounds of dry ice for each. That'll keep everything very cold at least a day or two!

Guys, part of that food was probably meat, and nowadays meat costs a lot. $250 of groceries can be around five bags if you are buying meat, veggies/fruits, etc. Stop questioning how he spent that much on food. EDIT: I just realized I made this rant when the newest comment is 2 years old. oops.

Go back to the store and get ice and a cooler and store the food in the cooler until it's fixed. Problem solved.
