So we just moved into a new house and it needs a lot of updating (1984 build) but nothing critical. One thing near the top of our list though is updating appliances, both for reliability and energy efficiency because I know the oven and suspect w/d are original, and the fridge is pretty dang old too. We cloth diaper so for w/d I almost feel like the upgrade pays for itself with energy/water in a couple years. Plus the existing w/d are tiny, like I'll be doing laundry 3x as frequently as I do now.

The problem is we missed the July 4th sales, and the w/d set I want (we're limited because it's a small laundry room) is only 15% off at best. Do I live with what we've got for a while? Wait for labor day sales? One part of me says wait, the other says at least get the new w/d now because this tiny old one is going to drive me batty.

Mostly the financially smart choice is to wait for a better sale, so tell me about all the amazing Labor Day buys you've made to convince me! Haha
