Just realized how long it takes to actually save up for a new fridge

I've been going back and forth on replacing my old fridge for weeks now. It's got a leak that keeps coming back, and I've already spent $40 on parts trying to fix it myself. The thing is, a decent energy efficient model is going to run me around $800, but my budget only lets me put aside $50 a week. So I'm looking at 4 months of saving if I don't touch that money. On the other hand, if I just throw it on a credit card, I'll pay interest and end up costing more in the long run. Has anyone else had to weigh waiting to save vs. just buying now?

Is a fridge really worth stressing over for four months?

Three months without one taught me otherwise.
