My someday is today!

Just about 4 years ago our dryer went completely out and we needed to get something else. Funds were low but our family had given us some money for Christmas which we to put towards it. We ran across a Bosch dryer on clearance and scooped up on it. If you know me well, you know I LOVE Bosch appliances and would have all my appliances Bosch if I could afford it. Barry and I always said someday when we are rich we will buy the matching washer that cost $1200, Yikes! Well fast forward to four weeks ago. Barry and I were walking in Low’s when we happened to see the exact matching Bosch washer to our dryer on clearance for $800. I couldn’t believe my eyes but still $800 is a lot of money when you have a fully functioning washer at home. I decided against it but the salesman told me check back and every week it doesn’t sell they drop the price on the clearance merchandise. Well tonight we dropped by Low’s to see if “my” washer was still there. I thought if it was meant to be it would still be there. Sure enough, there it was for $600. I asked the guy if that was the lowest he would go and he said they would sell it to me for $550. That is less than 50% off. So I said deal! Wooo-Hooo, I am ecstatic since I am a total bargain shopper. I guess it pays to be patient. Barry and our family friend, Ryan, brought it home and hooked it up so I am already doing laundry in it. I am going to be doing a happy dance every time a do laundry for a long time. Yippee!

That is awesome Tara! I think our washer only has a few years left in it. We had to replace our dryer a couple of years ago too. I'm so glad you've been updating your blog! Have a great Sunday today!

I hope Kellee doesn't see this. She has been trying to convince me to get a new washer for at least a year. Ours sucks. It leaked for a little while then miraculously fixed itself. Let me know if it was worth it.

That is such a good deal! We just got a new washer and dryer, but it is nothing like the ones you have! Arielle is so excited for pre-school over her house this week! Thanks for picking up Cadence from the birthday party the other day. That was very nice of you! See you Wed.
