I'm building my dream kitchen on a budget & bagged an £830 fridge freezer FREE – the stench was vile but it was worth it
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHE'S creating her dream kitchen, but is having to do so on a tight budget. So when she saw an £830 fridge freezer on Facebook Marketplace for FREE, Kelly knew she had to nab it.

"It truly is amazing what people get rid of!" she said. She picked the fridge up from a "building site" and was told it was all in working order but just needed a clean. "I'm pretty sure that this hasn't been opened in a long, long time," Kelly admitted. "The stench was unreal and, to top it off, I found fish in there! "I am NOT a fish lover and that expensive salmon is five years old." Once she'd managed to "dispose of" the offending fish, she got to work cleaning the fridge - taking every shelf and drawer out from inside, so that she could give it a deep clean. It needed a lot of "elbow grease", Kelly said, and she got stuck in with sponges, sprays and cleaning brushes. "I used lots of bleach on this thing," she laughed. "It was so strong I'm pretty sure I burnt the nostril hairs off. Stacey Solomon reveals 99p transformation of grubby kitchen unit she picked up on Facebook Marketplace so it looks brand new "It was the only thing that I really felt was going to kill that bacteria because God knows how long that's been growing in there." Once the bottom half - the freezer - was done, Kelly moved onto the fridge, removing each part one at a time, cleaning and putting it back. "This felt like a never-ending job," she sighed. "I love to clean but this was a lot, although very satisfying." Once the "cleaning marathon" was done, Kelly changed the hinges to match the rest of her kitchen, and enlisted the help of her stepdad to rewire the plug, which had been cut off. "We rewired the plug in seconds, attached the doors together and it was done," Kelly said, as she showed herself pushing the fridge freezer into its allocated slot. What are the biggest kitchen trends of 2025? The kitchen is the heart of every home and this year it's taking centre stage, Tracy Coleman, Product Director at High Street TV told Fabulous. Hardworking appliances Space-saving essentials are needed in every room of the house, and the kitchen is no exception, meaning appliances are often doing double (or triple) the job. Expect to see air fryer ovens that roast, bake, and fry or blenders with attachments for everything from chopping to grinding. Health and wellness With people becoming more mindful of what they eat and how it impacts their well-being, kitchen appliances are stepping up to meet the demand for healthier, more balanced lifestyles. Air fryers remain hugely popular, along with blenders and juicers that retain nutrients. Energy-bill conscious Finally, with rising energy bills and an increased focus on sustainability, people are turning to appliances that help reduce power consumption and keep costs down. More people are finding joy in cooking at home as a cost-effective way to enjoy delicious, nutritious meals. Cooking at home doesn't just save money—it's also a fun way to bring the family together or experiment with new recipes. With the right tools, such as multi-functional appliances and smart kitchen gadgets, creating meals at home becomes easier, faster, and more satisfying. "A fully working integrated fridge completely free!" "My best and worst Facebook marketplace find in one!" she captioned the video. "I've been looking for a integrated fridge freezer ever since I bought this unit. "I wasn't prepared to buy new, so will some patience (somehow) but mainly will power I found this baby! "And what a gem it turned out to be!" 9 She donned some rubber gloves as she got stuck in with bleach and a scrubbing brush Credit: TikTok/kellyewhiteside 9 She took out the shelves and drawers in the fridge freezer to give a thorough clean Credit: TikTok/kellyewhiteside 9 And when she was done, she showed off the sparkling clean interior Credit: TikTok/kellyewhiteside 9 She then took it upon herself to put the fridge into its place Credit: TikTok/kellyewhiteside
