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.

Contact the electric company. They will reimburse you for the list food

Jumped the gun! When the power has been out for long enough to warm your fridge you have to let it run empty for 24 hours before reloading it. So you get a YDI for jumping the gun and a FYL for having to deal with a major power outage!
