Too Much Shopping

Well we still don't have a home and might not have a home before Dave leaves for Japan.
But we figured that we are close enough to closing so we have started buying house stuff. We couldn't help ourselves.
We purchased this stove
stove
It was on sale at Sears and it will take 3 weeks to arrive so we figured we might as well hit "buy."
We bought this fridge
lg-refrigerator
the one we were going to get from Ikea (which we found 3 weeks ago) is out of stock and they don't know when it will be back in stock but they do know that when it is back in stock the price will increase by $500. I started freaking out when I heard that because I haven't seen a French door, bottom freezer for that prize anywhere else, I guess Ikea figured that out too.
So I immediately started looking online for another fridge. I found that one one sale at Sears but it was smaller than the Ikea one so I wanted to go see a fridge that same size before we bought it. We went to Home Depot to look well it turns out that Home Depot has a 10% Price Match Policy, most stores have a similar policy but it's rare to find the exact item at 2 stores. It so happens that Home Depot had the exact same fridge. The fridge was 10% off at Sears and we got an additional 10% off and free delivery and installation.
We are buying a foreclosed home so the previous owners took EVERYTHING!!! Even the smoke detectors! Some items had to be replaced by the selling bank, those two big ticket items weren't part of the deal.
We also bought these patio chairs at Tractor Supply
Chairs
We fell in love with them a couple weeks ago, Dave wanted to purchase them on the spot. The clerk told us that they were going to have a Grand Opening Sale the following Saturday so they would probably be on sale. We go them this past weekend for 10% off.
We plan on buying this overhead microwave
Microwave
We saw it when we bought the fridge but decided to wait because I wanted to do research and see if I could find it cheaper anywhere else. Good thing we waited because Home Depot has a 10% moving coupon.
The house already has a dishwasher, it won't match but we are okay with that for now.
And what's a post without a picture of Cali
Hair
Her hair is slowly getting longer.
