<p><strong>Homeowners and renters alike, replace broken appliances without breaking the bank.</strong></p>
<p>Are you frustrated because your clothes washer or dryer is on its last leg?  Perhaps replacing your refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, or stove is just around the corner.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3961" href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/blog/2011/06/28/great-ways-to-save-on-major-appliance-purchases/3b-appliance-shopping/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3961" src="http://www.plasticjungle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/3B.-Appliance-Shopping.jpg" alt="" width="282" height="426" /></a></p>
<p>Trying to score the best savings in a rush can be difficult.  Consider making your next appliance purchase cost-effective and stress-free by taking a few steps now.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Research. </strong>With abundant tools at your fingertips, you can find product reviews in minutes through sites like <a href="http://appliancebuyersguide.com/" target="_blank">Appliance Buyer’s Guide</a> or <a href="http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/product-testing/reviews-tests/appliances-electronics/" target="_blank">Good Housingkeeping</a>. If you have a <a href="http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/appliances/index.htm" target="_blank">Consumer Reports online subscription</a>, you can even see how products perform when tested over and over again.</li>
<li><strong>Estimate.</strong> Get an idea of the price range and best store to buy a replacement that will meet your needs.  Scope out the inventory at places like <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Electronics/Home-Appliances/abcat0900000.c?id=abcat0900000" target="_blank">Best Buy</a>, <a href="http://www.lowes.com/pl_Appliances_4294937007_4294937087_" target="_blank">Lowe’s</a>, and <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/Appliances/h_d1/N-bv1wZ5yc1v/h_d2/Navigation?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10051&amp;catalogId=10053&amp;searchNav=true" target="_blank">Home Depot</a> to score even bigger savings by using discounted gift cards from <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/" target="_blank">Plastic Jungle</a> as tender.  If there is a <a href="http://www.searsoutlet.com/" target="_blank">Sears Outlet</a> in your area, you can stack their 20-60% off prices with a <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Sears" target="_blank">Sears discounted gift cards</a> from <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/" target="_blank">Plastic Jungle</a> (which are usually 8% off).  No <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/gift-card/Sears" target="_blank">Sears gift cards</a> are available right now, but you can set up a <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/blog/2011/06/16/plastic-jungle%E2%80%99s-notification-feature-puts-you-in-control-of-the-discounts/" target="_blank">notification</a> today or check back on <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/" target="_blank">Plastic Jungle</a> soon.</li>
<li><strong>Get Ready. </strong>Go ahead and order the appropriate amount of discounted gift cards from <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/" target="_blank">Plastic Jungle</a>.  Also, check for store coupons (most stores have a 10% off sale and/or coupon regularly).</li>
</ul>
<p>When that appliance finally does stop working, you’ll be set to head to the store with your <a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/" target="_blank">Plastic Jungle</a> discounted gift cards to score extra savings on an item you can be confident about.</p>
