I don’t think I will be able to update my pink gift blog tomorrow. There is a sample sale at a nearby bridal shop that my cousin wants me to accompany her to seize a cash-and-carry wedding gown.

At first, I was surprised to hear that that high class bridal shop with Ft Myers custom doors would be having a sale.

You can imagine how bad the economy is!

As for my cousin and her future hubby, they have to save money on everything from wedding cards, to wedding dinners to wedding gowns.

I am sure she will find a bargain-priced wedding gown at that bridal shop because of its good reputation. The sale is by appointment only, you know.

Appliances cost money from the moment of purchase through the years of high energy bills and ongoing maintenance costs. To save money on appliances, try 4 tips here.

1. Buy the Right Size. A giant fridge for a small family of three is not only overkill, but it’s going to cost you more at the store and on your monthly energy bill. Don’t always opt for the larger size; rather, look for an appliance that’s scaled to your family needs.

2. Try Refurbishing Instead of Replacing. Before you run out and buy a brand new grill cover, ask yourself if you can get away with refurbishing the old one.

3. Always Buy Energy Efficient. Whenever possible, always buy an EER or Energy Star rated product. The higher the EER tag rating, the less wasteful a product is and the more money you’ll save in the long term.

4. Buy the Floor Model. Last year’s floor models could be this year’s savings. Much like the deals that can be found on test-drive cars, buying a floor model can save you a significant amount off the advertised sticker price.
