12:00pm

We're getting a "new" dishwasher today
from Tony's boss.
It's an $800+, 2 year old dishwasher for $100.
Stainless steel tub, hidden controls,
quiet running and doesn't require scrubbing
dishes ahead of time!
Trying to upgrade our dishwasher with
one that is more efficient.
This could save us $40 a year.

His boss bought all new stainless steel
appliances. He paid allot of money for
a newer stainless steel dishwasher
and they say it does not clean as well
as the one they are selling us!!

We're also wanting to purchase a new
side-by-side refrigerator that is more efficient
with an energy star rating.
Our fridge is late 80's to early 90's model.
This could save us $100 a year!
We saw a new side-by-side fridge
at Sears Outlet for as low as $350!
It had ice and water in door.
Plus we wouldn't have to use our
water cooler anymore. Which I read
that some water coolers can use as much
or even more electric than a refrigerator
depending if it has hot and cold spouts.

Check out ENERGY STAR
for more information on how to save money with
more efficient items in your home.

Other Energy Star savings we have:

Replaced old tube tv with lcd.
Lcd tvs use 40% less energy.

We replaced our freezer when we moved into
our home with one that was 2 years old.
By doing this it saves us up to $35 a year!

We've done away with using desk
top computers and now use laptops.
typical laptops uses 20–90 Watts, compared to 100–800 Watts for desktops.

So by making little changes over
time by replacing your appliances or electronics
could help you save a bunch of money!!
This is not something that happens overnight
due to the cost.

---------------------------------

3:50pm

Went & picked up our dishwasher.
Tony's boss was nice enough to
also give us the over the range microwave
(about 6 years old).
Can't pick that up though til tomorrow
or Tuesday due to space in the truck.
I guess his boss is taking back their
new dishwasher and getting another
kind since they don't like the new on
they got. He was telling us he saw
the exact dishwasher that we're buying
from him at the store now for $1,100!!

We stopped by Kroger on the way home
to pick up some milk & pop.
Here's some mark downs I found when there:

-2 half gallons eggnog .49 cents each
-gallon milk $1.29 doesn't expire til 1-15.
(reg $2.50)
-package salami $1.29 (reg. $2.50)
-large can of coffee $2.99 (reg. $5.99)
-boxes of bacon $1.00 each (reg. $2.99)

Not marked down but on sale:

-Kroger Doritos $1.67
-Kroger Italian sausage $1.40

I also saw large packages of pork chops,
about 10 chops, reg. $15 marked down to $6.80.
Didn't get any since I am already stocked
up with pork chops and have limited
freezer space.
.

Well we are getting ready to haul
in the dishwasher. Can't let it sit out
in the truck. More than likely it has water
in the lines and if left out in freezing
cold temps it will freeze.

----------------------------------

Neither me nor mom are doing any
major grocery shopping this week.
If I do go with her to the store I will
only be shopping for the cheapies or
freebies items.
Hoping to spend around $10.00 or less.
So here is my list for this week for Meijers:

4 Ronzoni Garden Delight pastas $2.00

4 Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Pasta $2.00

4 Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta $2.00

2 bags green giant vegetables- FREE

1 head lettuce

Italian & Ranch dressing

6:30pm

"New" dishwasher being installed.

It's been 1 month yesterday and I have yet to hear
from the car lot where we purchase our car.
No instrument cluster and no car lot owner
at my door delivering it like he promised.
Too bad I feel like crap to wanna go chew
them another butt hole at the moment.
They already have several thanks to me, lol.
At the moment if I get worked up about
anything it gives me a coughing fit.
Heck going up and down the stairs
to do laundry gives me fits.
