So I'm sick of bottling my homebrew and want to cut down or eliminate bottling by switching to a keg. Few small problems though. I have a minifridge floating around but it is too short to fit a standard 5 gallon keg. There are 3 gallon kegs available brand new but they're like 30 dollars more. But they're more portable, would fit in my fridge, and while it wouldnt eliminate bottling, it would significantly reduce the amount I need to do. So brewfags, is it worth buying the 3 gallon now and a 5 gallon when I can afford to upgrade the cooler or just buy the 5 and figure out another way to keep the big bastard cold?

Well it'll be more than 30 because I would have to buy a bigger mini fridge. so more like 170 bucks or so.

Get a standard keg, buy an old chest freezer off craigslist or wherever for mad cheap, make a keezer, never bottle again. Also depending on the size of your freezer you can add more kegs later when you have the money if you decide to ever make larger or multiple batches.

this if you have the room.
or buy a used mini fridge that fits a 20L keg,.
everything homebrew is done in 20L batches more or less so dont fuck yourself over because youre too cheap to do it right. trust me,. i have 8 taps currently, 2 on a minifridge i added a collar onto that fits 2 20L and a chest freezer with 6 taps that fits 6 20L
