After I signed my purchase agreement with Minto I began watching the sales flyers for appliances. I got some great deals and picked up some really nice appliances. The only outstanding item was a fridge which I purchased this afternoon. Here is what I got … keeping in mind that the kitchen appliances are black not white as they are in the photos.
Washer and Dryer
I picked these up last fall during a super clearance event. I certainly don’t need every bell and whistle that you can get on a washer and dryer so the fact that mine don’t have the steam feature doesn’t bother me. It would have been nice to get a cool colour but they didn’t have any on clearance. White works fine. And I saved about $800 off the regular pair deal.

Stove
I have a decent Whirlpool stove right now. The one thing that I wanted to add this time was a convection oven since I do a lot of cooking and baking. My mom enjoys having this feature and I know it will help to save me some time in the kitchen. The issue with most convection ovens is the price. So I kept watching the flyers and knew how low the sales prices usually went for the model I wanted, $400 off. So, when the Boxing Day sales flyer showed my model on sale for $500 off I went down to the Sears home store in Regina where I spent Christmas. The salespeople had never seen the price that low. Good deal!

Dishwasher
My goal was to spend no more than $500 on a dishwasher, preferably less. I had my eye on a tall tub dishwasher for $499. Then I noticed a little better one on sale during Boxing Day, a $599 dishwasher on sale for $349. Another great deal!

Fridge
I took a look at bottom freezer fridges for a 34×70 opening at the Boxing Day sale. Some were obviously too small. But I did find one without a lot of extras (such as the water line) that would fit both the opening and my budget. In fact, I’d saved enough on the other items to pay for the fridge. Unfortunately, this one is a newer model (with a stabilizer bar in the pullout freezer) and is apparently a Sears best buy so it will not go on sale. I’m happy with it since it gives me lots of storage room for my supplies and leftovers.

Delivery and installation is organized for the evening of the day that I move in. The dishwasher installation will be the day after. I’m looking forward to trying out the convection oven!
