Buying Stuff

We made our first purchase for our new home today.  We bought the refrigerator. We are lucky enough to have a Sears outlet here and I highly recommend you give them a look if you have one in your area as well.  The outlet here sells appliances that have damage (mostly cosmetic) for prices far below retail value.  We were able to get a Whirlpool that retails for more than $2,500 for only $1,400.  It has some scratches on the sides, but I don't think we will even be able to see most of them.  There is one that we will likely be able to see, but its like I told my wife; we could pay full retail price for one and then when our kids smack it with a toy the next day, we would have a damaged fridge that we paid full retail price for.  I think that made her feel better about the purchase.  Its a great fridge that is very large and has pretty much everything that she required, so it made cense to make the purchase.  Its pictured below (we are getting it in black.)
