Cold Cash refers to people using the refrigerator or freezer as a place to store valuables, usually cash. The reasons for this vary, either someone is forgetful enough to leave a valuable in the fridge and is searching frantically for it only to find it in the fridge itself, or the fridge is usually the least expected place to find a (non-edible) valuable. Expect a Pun about "frozen assets". Compare and contrast Empty Fridge, Empty Life. Compare Body in a Breadbox, which refers to something (or rather, someone) else being in the fridge instead of money. |

The Doctor Blake Mysteries: In "My Brother's Keeper'', Lucien is musing that one of the confusing things about the case is that no one can work out where the money from the sale of the farm went. Jean remarks offhandedly that she knows where she would hide a large sum of money. The next scene has Lucien sneaking into a suspect's house and finding the cash in a biscuit tin at the bottom of the deep freeze. | |

He apparently didn't realize that many burglars also like to take some late-night snack when they're at it. | |

Almost subverted in an episode of Stargate SG-1. Colonel Mayborne is strong-armed by Jack O'Neill into revealing some top secret information that is stored on Mayborne's computer. The only way that Mayborne can start up his computer without it setting off a booby-trap and frying itself is to insert a special floppy disk into the drive. Where does he keep the disk? In the tiny gap between the fridge and freezer sections of his fridge-freezer, rather than in the deep freeze altogether. | |

A fourteenth-season episode of NCIS, "Nonstop", features a plot point in the form of a married couple keeping an emergency stash of cash in a coffee can in the freezer. While it is initially suspected that the wife's killer was a burglar, they turn out to only be half-right: the husband hired someone to provide an alibi for him, killed his own wife, and took the cash to pay his helper. | |

In the Southern Sisters Mysteries, Patricia Anne keeps her silver flatware in the freezer, and to foil thieves who know about the valuables-in-the-freezer trick, she keeps it in the pull-out drawer under the peaches and blueberries, in a heavy freezer-paper wrapping with "shrimp" written on it. Fred still thinks this is a bad place to keep it. | |
