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!

Buy a cooler and transfer all your food to that along with a couple bags of ice. That way, you'll be set for the next power outage too.

Where I live, depending on what you bought, you're able to return groceries. Most stores would be pretty understanding in this situation, as long as you return the food within a reasonable timeframe.

I'm a she :) but yes I do have an iPhone I'm eating the food I stored in the coolers. Hoping I can get it all eaten before it goes bad!

You don't have any friends that will keep it until you get your power back?

I live on the south end of Columbus. We thankfully haven't had too many issues with this. That sucks though.
