Thats if you turn it off entirely, which would make your food go bad and cost far more in spoiled food?
If they are jhst turning it on and off at peak times, its hardly going to save anything, as the fridge will work harder to reach temp again. Which also risks burning it out faster.
How can turning off the fridge make any sense? Unless its secondary fridges/freezers?
This assumes most know the maths. 10% could well match with folks who just see it as on all the time. No reason most would understand how to calculate the highest draws of electricity in their house.
Oof. Assuming electricity at its peek of 35p / kWh - a fridge freezer costs between 10p and 20p a day to run.
So a saving of 3 to 6 quid a month, things must be grim if that’s worth doing.

Grim indeed.
Sometimes, you’re bombarded with stupid ideas from boomers, and at one point, you’ve to at least partially give in…
If you are turning off your fridge to save money, you likely do not have much in there to worry about going off.
