However, when it comes to other items like old kitchen appliances there is no reason to hold onto them. Even if they do have a “history” if something isn’t working it should be replaced. Case in point: your old stove.
Surely you’ve have a lot of memories attached to your old stove. All those great meals. All those not so great meals. The holiday dinners. The late night snacks. Yes, if that stove could talk it would have plenty to say! Unfortunately, it might no longer be performing like it once did. Maybe the temperature is off. Maybe food isn’t cooking all the way through. Maybe it takes too long to heat up. Whatever the reason, now might be the best time to buy a new stove. This is the time of year when stores are eager to clear out their showrooms to make way for holiday merchandise. Just like with cars, even though you’re buying a stove made this year it is still considered last year’s model. Nothing wrong with that plus you’ll be getting an exceptional deal.
