In extremely old refrigerators an ordinary light bulb will fit. Be sure to use the smallest wattage you can. I believe normal fridge bulbs are 40W.
The risk you run is they are not as rugged as a refrigerator bulb. It may break, causing glass to contaminate food. And a higher wattage could create enough heat that on busy days it may cause the temperature to rise enough to be a problem. When the door is closed the light is off, but if it is hot, the bulb takes a few moments to cool off and that may affect the cooling ability of the fridge.

Why do people say that ordinary light bulbs aren't energy saving?
No light bulbs actually save energy, they use it to produce light. However energy efficient bulbs use less energy than the ordinary incandescent type. To my mind describing them as energy saving is wrong, they should be described as "lower energy" bulbs.
