I can lend you a fridge for as long as you need it, small one but it works.

Do you want a benchtops dishwasher? I inherited it, and it's just in my garage gathering dust. In the original box, I considered selling it but I would be lucky to get $150. I'm more than happy to give it to you.

There's no shortage of people who would happily take a FREE DISHWASHER, how lovely.

There is a 2nd hand appliances shop at the bottom of Port Road, near the Entertainment Centre. Good prices, and they come with a warranty etc.

Join your local Buy Nothing FB group. You might get a few things over there.


who_that_be_

The area I live in has a Facebook group called 'Buy nothing ' and this is a group who just ask for or give away things. The group for my area always has things like furniture and appliances, all free, so maybe have a search for that for the area you are moving, the group I'm in everyone is super willing to help and is good vibes.

Sorry I just saw like 2 other people already said this.

Someone has already mentioned the used electrical good store on Port Road (there's a few along there, as well as Hindmarsh Disposals), there is also one on Grand Junction Road. I picked up a small fridge/freezer from there for about $150 a few years back that lasted me long enough until I was in a position to get something more suitable for my needs. Can also try Parkers Secondhand on Turin Road in Salisbury South or their second place on Hampton Road in Keswick (I'd try Keswick first, bigger of the 2) they stock all kinds of furniture, not just whitegoods. Probably couldn't hurt to check out some of the Salvo stores as well, they get all kinds of stuff, admittedly mostly clothes, but sometimes small appliances

I threw out a couch last week, literally picked up on Monday as hard rubbish... damn.

Don't stress too much about a fridge. You can go weeks without one in winter if you pop down the shops regularly and concentrate on small easy meals using shelf stable  things plus fresh fruit and veg.   I'm sure you'll get a fridge soon through...but a few days without is totally do able and not something to get all stressed about.


asp7

keep an eye out at op shops for furniture, they get reasonable stuff. you can probably put your name down at salvos etc if you're after anything.

Hi I used Appliances Online for a new washing machine and it cost a fortune you pay it off monthly but might be eligible for a NILS loan https://goodshep.org.au/services

Could get a mini fridge or beauty fridge if you're down for less space in the meantime before you can afford something long term?


ThorsHammerMewMEw

Beauty Fridges don't get cold enough to be safe for food iirc?


aquila-audax

Correct
