I am excited about appliances.
See previous entry “I am excited about siding” for further proof I am getting way too… suburban?
OK but really you have to admit these are great deals:
- washer with sanitizing cycle + dryer with quiet feature for about $1600
- basic self-cleaning coil stove for just under $500
- dishwasher with tall tub and adjustable rack for about $600
- and best of all, a 22 cubic foot fridge with bottom freezer for less than $1K (which we hadn’t seen anywhere!). Paul says the freezer is the “coolest” part lol 
What a relief that not only is the shopping over (and I don’t have to drag myself through any more appliance stores) but that we were able to get everything for reasonable prices. Most of my excitement up ’til now hasn’t been external expressed though as I’ve been in tons of pain from the trip. 
But I’m so glad I saw the e-mail from Sears about their VIP sale, advertising their lowest prices of the season, and convinced Paul we should check it out. We got the “3x the GST” option because of what we chose and then we avoided having to pay PST on most items because they were Energy Star.
So all in all, a really good bargain, and much cheaper than the price we were quoted by Minto to put it all in for us with the house. And it’ll be delivered soon so we’ll be able to use the appliances at the new house even while we’re still in process of wrapping things up here.
ETA: I’m sure this would all make waaaay more sense if I hadn’t needed the extra painkillers today, but just wanted to clarify that we got to *save* “3x the GST”, not that we had to pay 3x the GST. lol
