NaNo Goal Complete and My New Kitchen Appliance

I made my NaNo goal! Actually I made it last week on the 18th
of November. As of today I am just shy of 60K. I think it’ll take another 15 to
18K to finish the story and I’m hoping to complete it by Wednesday. Whether I
write the end of the story by the 25th I will validate my word
count. I will finish this story. As I’ve kept writing Lucy’s story I like her
and her story more. I’m excited about writing again and I look forward to
meeting my characters at the keyboard.





Now I have to tell you about a huge appliance deal I got
yesterday! I was out running errands with my husband and one of our stops was one
of the big box home improvement stores. We went in looking for a showerhead
with a filter and came out with a new refrigerator. I huge leap in purchase but
we’ve been shopping for a refrigerator for the last year because I wanted a
specific style. I wanted the French door style with the freezer on the bottom.
I wanted ice and water and I wanted it for under $1200.



Yesterday as we cruised the aisles for the showerhead I saw
a row of refrigerators that had clearance tags and made a mental not to check
them out after we found the showerhead. Well, we didn’t find the showerhead but
we were curious about one refrigerator. Actually I saw the stainless model first
and the regular price was over 2K but was on sale for $1300, not bad but more
than I wanted to pay, but low enough I considered going for it. Luckily my
penny pinching instinct kicked in and I look at the reduced/damaged and clearance
models again and standing there was a white refrigerator it didn’t have a
reduced price on it so before I asked a sales person I had the hubby check the
model number against the stainless one and found out it was the same model. If
you pay any kind of attention to appliances you know that black is cheaper than
stainless and white appliances are cheaper than black and stainless.





Long story made shorter the white model was on sale for
$1198 from $1898 and with the damage discount I purchased it for $1032
including taxes and delivery! I saved over 40% on this refrigerator and the
only damage was a dent with some white color missing on the right side, which isn’t
a problem for me because it won’t be seen. Hey, I hear a truck…It’s my refrigerator!
 



Until next time, live well now.
