What is the value of your refrigerator? What is the value of having milk when you want it, when you want it? If the answer is not yet clear, consider the costs of you would incur if you did not own a refrigerator. What are the costs of not having milk in your home for cereal for breakfast? Some of the costs are hunger from not eating, indigestion from eating dry cereal, the inconvenience of having to go to supermarket before breakfast and the actual expense of going to supermarket daily."
