i swear i wasn't paid to do this...

hello!

so my last post was all about the wedding.  we now move forward to... the apartment!

this was adam's apartment so we pretty much had everything we needed as far as appliances went (his mom bought the fridge, and the stove was given to us for free).  all we needed was a washer and dryer.  adam has lived here for nearly two years with no washer and dryer.  he lived at the laundromat because he's a germ-a-phobe!

as we settled in a bit, we decided we had to get a dang washer and dryer.  so we did some shopping around, and settled on a set we just loved.  it was $699 each at lowes, where the delivery was free but installation was $145.  we kept it in the back of our heads and moved on to home depot.  unfortunately they didn't have the set there, and the comparable ones were just not as nice but we were open and kept them in mind as we went on.

our search ended at a wonderful little place called h.h.gregg.  to my knowledge, there are none of these on long island.  i mean, i've never heard of it.  so we are looking around and voila!  we found the set that we fell in love with at lowes!  but this time, they were each on sale for $629.  the sale ended the next day, but we didn't want to make that the deciding factor.  we talked to the salesperson and he informed us that h.h.gregg does the price match guarantee thing.  if they find that set for cheaper anywhere else, they'll match it.  so while he's looking it up to see if he'll be matching this price, i'm doubting that he'll find it cheaper.  and because i'm oh-so optimistic (sarcasm alert), i was assuming he would just lie and tell us that was the cheapest anyway.

mr. john salesperson comes over with the news.  he found the same set at sears (this was going to be our next stop), but for $575.  damn. we were sold.  but, h.h.gregg didn't stop there!  they don't match prices, they beat them.  he sold us the washer and dryer for $550 each.  stfu.

oh, and did i forget to mention that the installation was only $79.95, and you get that money back if you send in the rebate?  you can choose the $79.95 visa card, OR $100 h.h.gregg gift card.  we went with the latter, so we can get our tv there too!

i know this will sound super cliche and a bit lame, but shop around.  i wasn't too happy to go to h.h.gregg at first, because it's not as big a chain as the other stores so i did not think for a second we'd get a better deal.  they showed me, that's for sure.  oh also, these guys sing when they're done!
