Appliance Shopping!
Today we found 84 cents and 28 bottles and cans.
Continuing on the theme from yesterday, we’ve been waiting for a good sale on a new stove, one with a hidden oven element and ceramic top. We’ve seen them for sale in the 650.00 range but we thought that was a bit much. Then we were going through the Sears flyer and we noticed a Kenmore Range with all of the features we wanted, plus it was part of a 2-day sale. Anyway, we headed to Rochester, New Hampshire to purchase one at 519.99. Plus, we got another 40 dollars off for bringing in 2 canned goods, not to mention we saved an additional 30 dollars in Maine sales tax. Now that’s a deal.
Aside from our brief road trip, we did get in some yard work. I continued working on the leaves in the backyard and then broke out the electric chainsaw I borrowed from my cousin to cut up a couple of trees that we had cut down some time ago. Most of the wood had already been cut up and used over the previous couple of winters but there were still couple of small trees left so I thought I start that process as well. Needless to say, it was a busy day.
Saturday’s coin finds – Michele once again had good luck on her morning walk with Lexi. She found 26 cents, a quarter on Mill Street and 1 penny on Webster. While at the Lilac mall to pick up the stove we also found a penny in the parking lot. The evening walk proved to be the breadwinner, though with 53 cents. We snagged 3 pennies in the rite aid parking lot, and then 54 cents at the car wash (2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 28 pennies). All of the coins were either atop one of the vacuum islands or scattered about on the ground. The final penny was found on Main Street on our way home.
Good Night and Good Hunting!
