On Tuesday, I needed gas for my car so I went to Costco to get petrol before it drastically increases in price! I bought some groceries and they make a great Shepherd's pie so I picked one up. I invited Richard for dinner. It takes 35 to 40 minutes to cook the pie.
I've known for a while my 17 year old stove was not working great, but on Tuesday, the oven would not work. So after 50 minutes of frustration, I ordered Mary Brown's chicken on my app. Good thing they are half a block away, so we ate on time but not what I'd planned.
I went online and found a stove I liked. I price checked by going online to Costco.ca, and we got in the car and went to Home Depot, Coast Wholesale Appliances and Trail Appliances. Same stove was $100.00 cheaper at Trail. I asked about delivery and set up. Trail said, "delivery is half price, $45.00, take away is $85 and we will arrange the gas fitter. You pay him and it should be between $400 and $500!" I didn't expect that but prices have gone up.
My friend Margaret told me Home Depot would price match so I went back to Home Depot. Not only did they price match, delivery is free this week. Taking away the old range and complete set up $185 and you pay Home Depot. Not only did they price match, they gave me another 10% off! The range is in stock and will be delivered next week!
Last night I turned on the BBQ, carefully watched the temperature as it only cooks at 320F and it was done! We have a week of BBQing and I'm glad it's still warm and not raining!
