Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Ask family and friends. Some friend or relative may be planning to replace a washer or dryer that is still working, They may be willing to give you their old one or sell it to you for practically nothing.

2. Look at garage sales and in thrift stores. They sometimes have working models available. Even an older model will get your clothes clean and dry if it is working properly.

3. Consider buying a used or refurbished washer or dryer. For example, some companies may be able to sell you a machine in good working order that someone bought and then returned.

4. Buy a washer or dryer through a wholesaler open to the public such as DirectBuy. These services save you money by cutting out the retailer.

5. Look at floor models. Stores regularly discount floor models when they are done displaying them. This is a way to get a virtually new machine for a reduced price.

6. Shop around for the best price on new models. Just like most other items, the retail price for a washer or dryer will vary from store to store.

Tips & Warnings

• Check out the store's return policies when buying from a thrift store. Some will allow you to return items that don't work within a certain time period, but some sell appliances as-is.
• If you have the budget, consider investing more in a high efficiency model. It will save you money in the long run.
