    Coincidentally, I am! The freezer on my fridge crapped out. The cheapest I found that fits my needs and space is $1000 USD. I doubt she’s going for the cheapest model. The nicer ones were upwards of $2300 USD and that’s just whatever Costco offered. This company is looking to give her over 10k in appliances and for what?! She’s not gonna necessarily influence anyone to go buy a new fridge just cause they liked hers. It makes no sense!

      The fridge she was looking at is $6200. They will be way beyond $10,000. Birdie needs top of the line so she can make her shitty lasagna. I wonder if Shame will be making cooking content?

        Sarah and her husband believe they scored a great deal, but in reality, they undersold themselves. I produce video content for various brands, including Samsung, Panasonic, GE, and KitchenAid. These brands collaborate and work with media-savvy designers and chefs. By “work,” I mean paid partnerships, not barter. Designers and chefs typically charge over $30,000 per campaign, with product offered (if they want it) and often an all-expenses-paid trip to CES in Las Vegas. Additionally, designers receive a minimum of $10,000 for on-air work while in Vegas. The brands cover these fees, and their PR agencies handle the arrangements. These aren’t year-long commitments either — we’re talking 4-5 days of work. If the chef or designer hosts an event, that’s another $10,000-$20,000 on top.

        For example, we worked with David Rocco for an event and broadcast tour. He earned a substantial amount and generously donated the appliances he was offered—a great guy to work with. The fact that Sarah isn’t securing these types of deals speaks volumes. She’s uncomfortable on camera and doesn’t approach her work with the mindset of building a business. Attending that Disney conference without getting paid? That’s a poor decision. More agencies are catching on that they don’t always need to pay influencers. Offering some product and inviting them to an event can suffice. Influencers hated by the public these days. It’s not smart to work with them for public facing contracts.

          She probably doesn’t even know how to turn it on. The short lifespan of today’s appliances is one of my major peeves. They cost a fortune and crap out so fast! My new strategy is buying the most basic model since there are fewer things to break.

      That sucks. I was almost in the same boat last year but luckily the repairman was able to fix it because I wasn’t happy about the prices for what we needed.

      I don’t get why companies jump through hoops to give her things? Like what has even done that makes her worthy of this??? Like sorry but I’m not gonna run out to this place just because they’re giving her a freebie, that makes me want to stay away.

      The fridge that she showed in her post is not cheap. My mom has one and my dad nearly had a heart attack when he found out the price
