Yesterday I recieved a letter from Sears. I just bought a new GE refrigerator to replace my old one cause the ice maker was leaking.
The letter thanked me for my purchase and went on to say that they took a poll about appliances. Apparently, people are more concerned about price than they are workmanship in appliances.
So, the owner went on to say, appliances are not made as well as they use to be.(My refrig cost the same as it did 12 years ago.)
He strongly urged that we buy a protection plan so that the refrigerator could be worked on and repaired for free instead of being replaced when it messes up.
I think it is funny that they are admitting that things are not made as well as they use to be.
Well, the market went up yesterday and I had a no use gas day, so I will add $3 to the $20 challenge.
Prev. total $22,916.00
today 3.00
new total $22,919.00
Interesting letter from Sears.

Of course, I still would NEVER buy an extended warranty. They are a huge rip off.

A couple summers ago, we vacationed in Stowe, VT. They allow no chain stores in the town. All stores are locally owned and operated. The difference in customer service was phenomenal. It was like stepping back in time.
