In our house we have what is called, "Big
Purchases". These are things that we need to save up for that we really want or need. It is always a fun day when we can get our big purchase and then to decide what our next big purchase will be.
A month ago our big purchases was an electric meat slicer. We were tired of having to spend so much for sliced meat and after doing the math decided it would save us money to slice our own meat. Turns out you pay double to get your deli meat pre-sliced. We now pay the same amount for double the amount of meat. We did the same with cheese. You pay double to get it sliced or shredded. We now buy it in a big block at Smart and Final and slice it ourselves.
So, we decided our next purchase was going to be a stand mixer. I have always wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer but one day we were walking through Sears and saw a Kenmore mixer. It looks almost identical to the Kitchen Aid but is 100 dollars cheaper. AND WE CAN USE ALL THE KITCHEN AID ATTACHMENTS ON THE KENMORE!!!!!
I got very excited today when Tim called and said we had enough to get the Kenmore. So tonight when he gets home --- it is off to Sears for our big purchase.
What will our next big purchase be....
