My dryer broke last week... I posted about it.
I've never really had to buy a big appliance before. But I went on line and checked out some of the usual suspects that would sell such items. Since I am not made of money, I wanted to check out the financing options.. I know those are offered as well. Seemed to be Leons had the best deal... and it is not far from home.
So, off we trotted Saturday to find that perfect "new" washer". Wow.. there's a lot of stuff out there... for tons of money too! YIKES! The one I chose was the bottom of the line cheapest one... but I wonder... was that the way to go? I was approached by one of the "piranhas". He was acutally pretty nice, for all that I thought he was just smelling "fresh meat" all over my demeanor. We set me up for their credit card, and for 0$ down, I had 6 months to pay. Since anything under $500 before tax does NOT have free delivery, I got the 2 year extra warranty.. might as well. So, all told, I charged $586.00 to this new card. Sigh. However... their deal is fair. I have 6 months to pay. Once we hit 6 months and there is a balance, I only pay interest on the amount left to pay, not for the initial amount. Sounds good to me. I got a bit of a nicer dryer, hoping it will have a longer basement life.
It comes today.. whoo hoo! No more draping my clothes all over the house, hoping they dry and don't smell funky... you all know what I mean... ugh!
Can anyone guess what I will be doing this afternoon?
