We used to unplug the refrigerator when we left for six months. Then a "Fridge Expert" told me that leaving the door open would dry out the seals. Now we turn the temperature down, remove the icemaker, and leave the fridge on. I think it costs about $5 per month. We store any spices, wine, unopened products in the fridge.
Of course we have a Homewatch person who checks the house weekly, runs the dishwasher, etc. And our humidistat saves us a ton of money on electricity.
