Not The Kind of Big Ticket Items You Want to Buy During the Holidays
Before you know it the holidays will be here. That doesn’t mean buying toys for our kids. This tells us it’s nearly time to buy new appliances for our house. They love to stop working at just about the same time that the holidays are breaking our bank accounts.
Instead of Toys R Us I’m scurrying to Best Buy or Sears to replace some expensive but can’t-live-without-it item, like the dishwasher that just fell apart all over my kitchen floor.
Last year, it was the central heat and air conditioning unit that whirred and buzzed for a few days before shutting down altogether right before Christmas. Temperatures in Sacramento where I live were dipping into the 30s and 40s at night and my kids complained they could see their breath. A contractor spent two days on the roof fiddling with the unit before he could determine how to fix it, which he managed to do the day before my mother arrived from Connecticut and I hosted 13 people for dinner.
