It's defintely a lifesaver

I remember a few times we lost power for 3-4 days and had to throw away everything in the Fridge and freezer (about 1,000$ in groceries)

Been there, done that. A few years ago we had a big storm in July followed by some of the hottest days in years. My building lost power and I high-tailed it to a hotel. The power was off for 4 days and I lost everything in my fridge and freezer, too.

Yep! You definitely know the struggle. We tried dry ice and nothing. A generator isn't cheap but it's worth it in the long run

I was just glad I realized pretty much within the first hour after the power went out that it was probably going to last awhile and I was not going to tolerate the heat. I was able to find a hotel that had a room and power. Within a few hours news was reporting that it was getting impossible to find hotel rooms anywhere in the city. Plus this one was giving a special rate to folks they called "power refugees". Thing is, even with that between what I lost in the freezer and the cost of the hotel - I could probably have paid for a good part of a generator. Can't have one in an apartment, but I will definitely have one in my house once I move.

Yeah motels aren't cheap at least if you're not in a budget motel which I know they get a bad wrap but most of them aren't that bad. Comfortable bed, AC, and a micro/fridge

It's nice to have a few new posters (and an older one )

This board has a limited amount as it is
