Why aren't refrigerators & freezers designed to benefit from outside cold air?

As I previously posted, the
TOTAL annual electric usage of a new 23 cft refrigerator, with ice and
water at the door is around $95. And that's here in NJ, with
electricity around 17c KWH. So, where is the big savings to be had?
My last electric bill for one month was $26!
10 years ago my electric bill was $150 a month.
How did I reduce my electric bill? I know how to add!
I'll bite. Give us the figures you added-- or subtracted. What
were your electrical appliances then and how much did they use, and
what are they now & how much do they use?
My bill runs between $200-300 a month, but I'm not complaining. The
convenience it supplies is worth every penny to me.
But tell us what you've done to save so much.

[BTW- I don't think that $26 would keep you connected to the grid in
my part of the world.]
