Today, my power finally came back on. I excitedly went and spent $100 to refill my fridge, only to come back home and discover the power is out again, and might not be back on for another three days. FML

Going to answer major questions here: I'm a college kid. I live alone and have a small fridge. I shop at Walmart with coupons and that's how I managed to fill my fridge on $100. I have AEP and the power was on for a bit before it went back off (not enough time for the fridge to get cold again) so I assumed I was okay. Apparently it was a "test run" I borrowed coolers from family and got some ice. I just moved here a few weeks ago and haven't met many new people so I'm stuck at my house. Thank you for the well wishes and crossing my fingers that it's back sooner than anticipated!

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

I'm pretty sure they have to pay you back, so no worries :)

Yes, in certain circumstances they do have to reimburse you. A couple years ago the power went out for a week and we were partially reimbursed for food loss. OP, I would contact the power company and see I'd they can help you out. Good luck!

Maybe you should've waited to know if the power would stay on #dumbbitches

Return any unopened food to the store? (Explain the power situation and they might be understanding...). Some people do care.

Why don't you take your food, and push them somewhere else!!!?

Start your competitive eating training by gorging yourself quickly on your doomed food. You could be the next Joey Chestnut or Sonia Thomas. If not, you still didn't let food go to waste -- a bunch of kids in Africa will be giving you a big, sarcastic golf clap.

Or you can fill up the milk in the water squirter. Lol the rest comes.

There's an all you can eat buffet at OP's place! But in all seriousness, why doesn't OP keep all of her things at a relatives house? It might not be possible, but she can always call someone up.

I wish I could fill my fridge with just $100.
