Buying Kitchen Appliances

We were out ordering kitchen appliances today. The nearest "Currys" is about 40 miles away. We went there last week to check prices - but we ended up buying from a more "old fashioned" type furniture and electrical store - where you can expect a bit knocked off if you buy a few things. Joyces of Headford - also stock the solid fuel Range we are getting - so we thought if we are getting something that expensive they will knock a few Euros off the total.
We ordered the bathroom sanitary stuff here too (five toilets and five basins and 1 bath!).
The prices were quite competitive to start with - and they did knock of about 150 euro or so .
We ended up spending just over 8 grand (euro) there - with the Range clocking up nearly half the total.
We got lots of Bosch stuff - Washing MAchine, Drier, Dishwasher, Fridge. They are not the cheapest make - but we had a Bosch washing machine inEngland for about 7 years and had no trouble with it.
They will deliver for free (over 30 miles away) and will hold it all till we need it - which won't be for at least 6 weeks. Ten percent deposit - rest after delivery.

Must go and check the bank account now!!
