Home appliances aren’t the most enjoyable thing to shop for because they’re big-ticket purchases that cause a lot of stress as well as expense. You even might feel a moment of panic as you check the price tag, bracing for a significant financial hit. However, there are ways to save on washers, dryers, and other household equipment so you can get the items you need affordably. 

5 Money-Saving Tips for Buying Appliances

1. Take Advantage of Older Models 

Appliance manufacturers come out with new models frequently. When this happens, the previous versions often are marked down substantially despite being virtually new. Instead of paying a higher price for the latest version, check out the discounted appliances they’re replacing — you can save hundreds of dollars and enjoy most or all the same functions. 

2. Don't Fall for Fancy Features 

New refrigerators and washing machines often have innovative features that entice customers. But before you pay extra money for an appliance’s bells and whistles, consider how much you need them. You might decide they’re not worth the added expense. 

3. Look for Scratch & Dent Discounts 

AppliancesA small dent or scratch on an appliance can knock 30% to 60% off the price. Stores mark down items due to superficial damage even if it doesn’t affect their performance. When you buy a discounted appliance like a refrigerator or electric stove, you'll enjoy years of use despite a few dings in its exterior.  

4. Wait for Holiday Weekend Sales 

Many stores offer discounts on appliances during long weekends for holidays like Memorial Day and Presidents Day. Waiting for these occasions will help you find specials that give your wallet a break.  

5. Buy Used Items

Shopping at a used appliance store is one of the best ways to avoid paying high prices, especially if you're shopping for more than one item. People sometimes get rid of an appliance because they’re remodeling, not because there’s something wrong with the product. 

 

Buying a refrigerator or gas stove won’t wipe out your savings account when you shop at Salvage Warehouse. They have a vast selection of high-quality products at affordable prices. Visit their website to get a glimpse of what they have in stock, including a broad range of used furniture. To inquire about their inventory, call their Grand Island store at (308) 398-1013 or their Lincoln location at (402) 466-8294.
