I have a 10% Off (max $200) coupon from Home Depot that expires on March 9th, so my wife and I made kitchen appliance decisions today. The appliances are the fridge/freezer, dishwasher, gas range and microwave. Our first attempt failed. On-line, we found Whirlpool appliances that came with a $500 discount. But when we tried to place the order we found both the refrigerator and dishwasher to be out of stock. I thought the store staff could probably override this given that we were prepared to wait months, so we headed to the store. No dice. If something is out of stock, Home Depot will not let customers go onto a backorder list.

We came home and my wife did new research. We switched to Samsung and my wife found a new set she liked. She placed the order and . . . another fail. The microwave was out of stock. She replaced it with a different Samsung microwave and . . . nope. The issue this time was that Samsung has its own 10% manufacturer discount and we couldn't add our Home Depot discount. I ran into this last year though, when we bought the washer/dryer. The store staff just rang up the purchase, then had us go through the checkout line to take our additional discount.

This means we'll be returning to Home Depot tomorrow, hopefully placing our order and getting the price we want.

Prices are very high. We'll be spending more than $3,300.

Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months

Propane, Countertops and Floors (Home Update)

I just sent an e-mail to a propane store accepting their offer on a 120 gallon propane tank and installation of the kitchen pipes and hoses. $2,395.

My wife and I (mostly my wife) also made tile decisions for the kitchen/breakfast nook, master bathroom, two smaller bathrooms and foyer. It comes to about 4,500 pounds and $2,032. We'd normally use the flatbed trailer to haul the tile, but it's out of commission at the moment. Instead we'll rent a small U-haul cargo van and hold off on the master bathroom tile at this time since the van has a 4,000 pound limit. The cargo van is $20 to rent for 24 hours, plus $0.69/mile... so about $120 total. Cheaper than Floor & Decor's $300 delivery fee.

We paid $3,350 on the 23rd for 50% of the kitchen counters. We'll be meeting with the installers on Friday to show them the kitchen and let them take measurements.

On Sunday, we'll be meeting with a floor guy to get an estimate on oak flooring for the living room, dining room and bedrooms.

Most of the basement floor will be done with indoor/outdoor carpeting. We'd go with "real" carpet of course, but basement floors here tend to have condensation issues.

Home Depot just sent us a 10% off coupon. If they have a decent sale on kitchen appliances, we may buy the refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and microwave in the coming days.

But %@#$!. Prices are getting out of hand.
