Get a Frigidaire refrigerator for $247 at Walmart

If you're looking for a small, budget fridge for the dorm, office or garage, we've found a refrigerator deal at Walmart that's not to be missed. Right now you can get a 7.5 cu. ft. Frigidaire refrigerator for just $247. Though Walmart isn't listing this as an "on-sale" price, you should know that this fridge is roughly half the price of other options in this size. (We found a similarly-sized Frigidaire refrigerator at Amazon for $350 .)

At this price, you're not getting any fancy features -- it's not Wi-Fi enabled, it doesn't have a tablet or window built into the door and there's no ice maker. It will, however, keep your food cold and frozen. While it is on the small size, it's larger and roomier than the typical mini-fridge. It's a good refrigerator for accommodating one to two people. (If you have a larger family, you'll definitely want a larger refrigerator.)

CBS Essentials senior managing editor Fox Van Allen just bought this refrigerator for his home. "It's not the most high-tech fridge I've ever owned, but it looks nice and does exactly what I need it to do: keep my groceries cold.

"It really is surprising how much space you get inside for a $250 refrigerator," he adds.
