Getting a Deal on a Appliances

[Deleted]

So thanks to the nice folks on the Home and Garden board, I finally have a nice fridge identified that will fit in my space.

Here it is: products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-specs/GNS23GSHSS

The only downside is it appears this might be a special order from most shops, so not something they are likely to just run a sale on.

Anyone have an idea how to get a deal? I'm not opposed to signing up for a credit card for a good deal. And DH has status at Best Buy for free shipping, but some places do free shipping and haul away.

I appreciate any ideas you all have:)

Holiday sales? I don't know, it's a lot tougher to get a deal when you need one exactly specific model.

Unless your fridge still works and you can donate to someplace like Habitat that will pick up, I'd get haul away in addition to shipping. Disposal of fridges is a PITA.

When I tried the store locator, it showed that Lowes and some local discount appliance retailers had it. We got our appliances on sale on either Black Friday or President's day. I can't remember which. I think we got 20-30% off.

You may be able to call around and see if you can buy any floor models or dent/ding ones. The smaller stores may also be able to have more wiggle room compared to big stores.

I had the electric company haul mine and they gave me $50 for it.

I don't think most stores keep this as a floor model, but it's not so too much trouble to call around.

Has anyone had good luck getting a deal from a small local place?

Nice to know! I'll see if mine offers something like that.

We almost had to special order our stove, and they were able to come up with some sale prices for me. Most places will negotiate with you to get your business
