The question of spending on a refrigerator in regions which experience snowfall and extreme cold weather seems valid. An Instagram user revealed how his Gujarati friend saved on an electricity bill during winter in Canada. He stated that his friend didn’t store things inside his fridge and placed all items outside his balcony, where the weather was conducive enough to preserve the items.
Netizens were impressed with this hack of resorting to the cold balcony space instead of increasing the power bill by storing things inside a refrigerator. Before reading a few comments, check out the viral video where Instagrammer Kabir narrated how his friend ditched a fridge in Canada.

Kabir claimed this his friend would have adopted this ‘jugaad’ to cut down electricity charges on the fridge. He pointed out that the temperature outside was minus degrees Celsius, where food items could easily be stored.
