You want HOW much!?

Saturday i spent the day going store to store looking for items for our house and getting prices on appliances. I am so proud of myself because i brought a spiral notebook and on the top of each page i wrote the store and the item(s) i want and the cost. I started my day with breakfast from Burger King (i absolutely love their BEC crossaints and tater tots with tons of honey mustard, lol) and went to Target, after Target i went to Pier One, Ross, Marshalls, Bed Bath & Beyond and World Market (awesome store). Although i was pretty darn tired and sick of walking around i knew i had to go to Home Depot, Lowes and Sears to get prices on all the appliances we would need (Refrigerator, Oven/Microwave, Dishwasher, Washer and Dryer). Holy CRAP! Over $4k at Home Depot and over $3k at Lowe's (plus the only upgrades i was looking at were the water/ice thingy in the frig and the clean top oven and even those were the cheapest ones i could find!). Needless to say that by 4pm i was cranky, hungry and seriously tired, so i did not go to Sears, lol. I did console myself with Red Hot and Blue BBQ though.
