New Refrigerator needed

[mmouse1]

Our fridge is 17 years old and biting the dust. We went out and looked at Lowe's, I think I want a Bottom freezer with French doors. Any ideas of where to find the best deal?

I got mine at Home Depot. It was on sale plus another 10% off plus they took off another $50. I think that Sears is having a sale. Most of the stores will price match if they carry the same brand. I looked for one in the scratch and dent, but I didn't find one. We needed a very specific heighth. We really love ours. Good luck!

I always go to every store in town and ask for scratch and dent too.....You can always pike up one of the 10% coupons if you have to get one at Lowes....

We bought our range and dishwasher from Lowe's. When were bought them (2003), they had the best prices overall... It may have changed since 2003, but Home Depot was ridiculously expensive -- it's not like the appliances were actually gold-plated, they were just priced as if they were. Might not hurt to check these days though.

 

You could check out Sam's Club/BJs/Costco if they are nearby and you are a member.

 

Also some people swear by Sears. You could check with your local (independent) appliance stores too.

i just bought exactly what you are saying from Lowes yesterday. I was lucky though and it had 2 small scratches on the side so we got it at a discount. also, they had 10% off energy star appliances. all in all it was a 600 dollar savings.

If you have a Sears outlet store nearby, they usually have some awesome deals on appliances. I bought a $1500 dishwasher for $500. At the regular Sears store it was still $1200.

We got our fridge at Lowes scratch and dent too (and then they delivered us a brand new one by accident!!) The last time we shopped at Lowes for a stove, my hubby asked if they would give us an extra 10% off for shopping there instead of Home Depot and they did =)

I have that same type from Sears. I honestly wouldn't recommend either Sears or this type of fridge - but that's just me. Sears service is horrible! We had a problem with our fridge during the first year we had it (so it was under warranty). It took hours of phone calls and 4 visits with hours of me sitting around all afternoon to get it fixed...and I've since had something else break on it - and it's only 2 years old. I've also come to hate the freezer on the bottom. Everything gets lost in there - it's just like a kids toybox...where everything gets buried at the bottom, and you have no idea what's in there. Just my opinion...but wanted to share. :)

We bought a $1400 fridge for about $600 at the Sears outlet store. You may have to drive a ways to find one but the shipping and delivery is still same price. They sold it at bottom price cuz there was a scratch on the BACK side. Still didn't notice the scratch but hey excellent fridge for half the price was a great deal. And you can still get a warranty too.

If you go to Sears, I do not recommend their name brand of products, Kenmore. We had an over-the range microwave that was only 2 years old and stopped working back in August. Then in September, we had our side-by-side fridge that was only 5 years old stop working and leaked freon.
