We bought our home with some old and some not as old appliances. The stove was newer but the door kept openning and letting out heat while it was cooking so we replaced that. We later bought the matching black/stainless steel microwave and installed that above the stove.
The kitchen was looking better with matching appliances all except for the hideous and extremely old beige refrigerator. It had to go but a new refrigerator isn't cheap so we decided to keep an eye out for good deals on a new one and wait to replace it.
Well, one year after moving into our home North Dakota offered a $150 tax credit for replacing your old refrigerator with a new energy efficient one. At the same time we happened to run across a fabulous deal (under $700) on this beauty and knew it was meant to be. We pricematched Sears price and took advantage of Lowe's free delivery out to our home a million miles away.
While filling out the proper forms for the credit we had to get some info off our old fridge including it's age. We weren't sucessful in finding an exact age but did find a date on it from the 1970's. Yes, 1970. The fridge is old than me!
We were so happy to say goodbye to that ancient beige beast.
