Being Frugal - Saving Money on Larger Purchases

Don’t you hate it when something like your vaccuum cleaner or washing machine gives out? Being the frugal person that I am, I always search out the best deal I can find and never just run out and purchase whatever is broken and needs to be replaced. You know part of Being Frugal – Saving Money on Larger Purchases!

I am a big fan of buying refurbished items and I always check out customer reviews before I purchase something. Refurbished items are always a fraction of the cost and most come with the same warranty as a non-refurbished item. When it somes to appliances I look for scratch and dent or floor models. I got my frontload washing machine for $200 cheaper just because it had a small scratch on the side of it. I can’t even see the scratch because it is on the side that is against my dryer.

Here is a perfect example of a great refurbished deal at Besy Buy right now:
Best Buy Outlet: Dyson Factory Refurbished DC14 All Floors Bagless Upright Vacuum $239.99
compared to Walmarts price of $399.99. That is a $160 savings!!!

So next time something breaks, do your research, shop around and maybe consider a refurbished item for some fantastic savings.
