Shopped/Bought a New Electric Dryer - Maytag 7.0 cu ft. Bravos Electric Dryer w/ Sanitize Cycle

Tweet

Yesterday - my boyfriend and I spent a few hours and shopped a couple stores for a new electric dryer. Reason being - the one at his place is broken! To match his front load washer, we wanted a front load style dryer but they're newer styles/technology, and I guess they only provide a 1 year warranty with an option to buy extended warranty too if you'd like. But we opt for the old fashion - regular dryer mainly because this dryer offers a 1 year warranty along with a 10 year limited parts warranty for the drum and motor. By shopping in stores, seeing the actual product then I took a photo of the model number to compare prices and ultimately check which place offers the better deal! Home Depot in stores: $498 Home Depot online: $458 Best Buy: $479.99 Sears: $448.20 Lowes: $449 The funny thing is we shopped at Home Depot and in stores it was $498! (Not including tax or the plugs/hardware) And, their website was selling the exact same model for cheaper at $458! Ultimately, I found a better deal at Sears because I had a $15 off rewards coupon and even after purchasing - I get $15 back so it is a win/win situation. Overall: It is worth to spend a little time researching your best value! We saved $50 by going with Sears and will be getting $15 back too! I also went through eBates and should be getting 3% back of my purchase another ($15). So that's like $80 back! Home Depot doesn't have cash back feature from eBates and I paid with my credit card so I will get a tiny percent back as well. When you are buying a bigger item, do you often compare prices among stores or price match? Image Credit -
