we finally broke down and....

[lisettelovebug]

went freezer shopping. With prices of everything going up I really wanted to be able to stock up on foods when I get a deal. Also being able to have room for the extra foods I make and freeze would be great. So, we had seen that Sears was having a sale and they had no interest no payments for 12 months for any appliance over 399. So we went there this afternoon, and they had a lot of their floor model appliances on clearance (stoves, frig's, freezers, dishwashers, washer, dryers, etc). We found a 13.7 cf kenmore upright freezer with frost free for $279. We had priced this size and with frost free and the cheapest we had found was a little under $400. So, we bought it. Still has the regular manufacturer's warranty. We saved $120. Though we didn't didn't get the no payments/no interest we won't pay much in interest because we'll have it paid off in a couple months. The worst part was dh and ds9 had to strap it to the trailer in the pouring rain - they were drenched!!!

I can't wait to start putting stuff in there!!!!

Congratulations on your new purchase. I'm envious...an upright and frost-free! Much easier to store and find stuff.

Congrats! I bought one recently and it's a relief knowing we have extra food in the freezer.

I have my Mom's Kenmore Freezer it was purchased in 1970 and is still working great (knock on wood ) LOL

[FrugalMomof3]

Congrats on the new purchase! Dh and I purchased one on Craigslist a while back for $100, it was a GREAT investment

[C@rol]

Hmmm...That sounds like a great deal.
Everytime me and dh go to Sears we always stop and look at those freezers. I'm thinking with food prices rising as they are the freezer might be a great investment especially for meats.

Enjoy your new freezer! You have me reconsidering purchasing one.

Can't wait till we get one. DH and i have been talking foreever about going in with someone to get half a cow but we've goot nowhere to put it.

[mombottoo]

Sounds like you got a good buy! I am also going to be in the market for an additional freezer and I am also opting to go with an upright this time around. My chest freezer is nice, but it's horrible getting stuff out of it.

[Darlene]

Woohoo, you are going to love it!
Really makes you feel good knowing you have good food at a good price waiting for you when you want it.

[pinetree]

Congratulations! Please let us know how you like it, I think our next one will be an upright.

Chest freezers are so hard to organize and find things later, seems like i'm always digging in it & still can't find what I was after.

That was a really good price you paid for it, now have fun filling it up!

[Athena31]

I remember when I bought my up right freezer I was thrilled like you are too. I am sure you will have it filled up in no time.

[Frugal Nurse]

That is a great deal!! and seeing that a freezer is tucked away somehere, it doesn't matter if it's a floor model.

Great price! for sure!

Today I went shopping for new appliances and the bill came to just about $10,000. You read it right. Ten Thousand Dollars!

I am rethinking the remodel.

[luv-my-lexi]

Hmmmm....great buy. We too are thinking of getting an upright freezer.

[kaykwilts]

I'd love to have a new freezer that is bigger. MIne is old and I'm afraid one day it is going to give up the ghost and die on me.

[POOTERSMOMMY]

Great deal. You won't be sorry - freezers are wonderful
