New Refrigerator

I tried to salvage the old refrigerator from my old house, but there was just too much odor coming out of it (long story), even after we cleaned it. It looks like it was built in the late 70's, so I justified that I could throw it out, on account of it's inefficient ways. I'll just look on craigslist for a used (but newer) fridge, and everything will be great. But then I ran into some problems. Who was going to pick up the new fridge? My mom has been helping me with the house, but moving a fridge is not that easy. Nor did she have a vehicle capable of doing so. It would be a lot easier to go to Lowe's and buy a new one, and have them deliver it. They're only $350 for the simple models. I could even put it on my Lowes credit card and not have to pay for it right now. But then my green mind starting giving me a guilt trip. So I kept checking craigslist...

I found a few fridges that would have worked perfectly, but each time I called or emailed, they were already sold. I was checking many times a day. I guess fridges are a hot commodity! Mind you, I was also getting the carpet replaced, so I could put the house up for sale. After a week of trying, I had no fridge, but the carpet was installed, and now I have a house ready for showing, and no fridge!

I said to myself "This is a special circumstance. Time is of utmost importance right now. I won't have time to wait for next available fridge. I need to get a fridge in there ASAP! I can justify buying a new fridge for all those reasons and not feel guilty, right?"

Wrong. I held out. And today a fridge came online, and I called, and it was still available! Was it the right dimensions? Yes! Can someone deliver it? Yes! How much? $200! I'll take it!
