Oooh - do you have a Sears "scratch and dent" outlet near you? There's one in Shrewsbury, MA that has appliances much cheaper, all because of literally a dent (usually on a side that no one will see) or an odd color or something else that's purely cosmetic. You could also put a "Wanted" on your local Freecycle, somebody might hav a spare fridge ...

Of course, soon it'll be winter, and cold enough to just put some things out on a windowsill or balcony if you have one - they'll stay plenty chilled!
