Impulsive Purchase

One of the few appliances that are not provided in our new home and we are required to purchase is a refrigerator. We have been talking for a while about when we were going to get one and where we would put it until we could move in. I was afraid that if we waited until we closed on the house, we would be without a fridge for a while (our schedule will be kind of tight around then).


On Friday, we decided to just go look around and see what is out there. We left Home Depot somewhat disappointed in the prices of the refrigerators. I had no idea they were so expensive!! Because of the layout of our kitchen, we need a counter-depth fridge, which, even though it is smaller than regular sized, costs more money!!


We left Home Depot and went to Rodenbaugh's in Allen. There we got a lucky break. They have a regular showroom, but they also have a scratch and dent outlet store next door. They had one there that was in perfect condition, but was an overstock item. They had it marked off almost 800 dollars!! It was such a good deal that we had to take it. They said they started the week with ten of them and only one is left...

After we left, I asked Dan how he felt about the purchase. He said that he was very happy with it, he just couldn't believe that he had done it!! We are talking about the man who researches EVERYTHING. He looked at house stuff for almost two years before deciding he had found a good deal. Hopefully this will turn out to be a good thing as well!
