First Purchase

So, after years of abstaining from the practice of shopping on "Black Friday," I actually went out and bought something today. I bought a washer and dryer for my future home. Now, I don't know where that home will be or when I will move in, but I know it will be this spring. I just couldn't pass up the great deals.

I bought a Samsung washer and dryer combo at Sears. They were originally about $1999 together, but I bought them for $999. Not too bad. The washer is 4.0cu capacity and the dryer is 7.3cu capacity. (I didn't get the stands. I don't know how big my washing room will be.)
It was funny, because I worked at Sears and I know how it works. So, I just walked in, stood in the middle of the washers, and looked around for a salesperson, not at a washer. I waited about 30 seconds, caught they eye of a salesman, and withing 2 minutes was buying away. I think it is a little shocking for some people because who buys such a big purchase so quickly? But, I knew exactly what I wanted and didn't need to be "sold" into buying anything. Why waste my time being told about a product I already know I want?

The best part is that they can hold off on delivering them for up to six months. So, even though I don't have a place to live and no where to put the washer and dryer, it is all okay because they have a home in the Sears warehouse. Yea for Sears!
