Buy a used washer and dryer. Used washer and dryers are much cheaper than new ones. Buying used doesn't mean buying a washer and dryer that are falling apart. Sometimes people sell "like new" washers and dryers for significantly less than a new one would cost. Websites such as Craigslist.org allow people to post their used goods for sale online. Search your city's "For Sale" section, and find a washer and dryer that meet your needs and fall within your budget.

Buy a floor model washer and dryer. If you insist upon purchasing a new washer and dryer, buying the floor model at a store can be a great way to save money. These washers and dryers are new and out of the box. If you are interested in purchasing a floor model washer and dryer, simply ask the salesperson at the store about purchasing a floor model for a lower price than the other models.

Buy a refurbished washer and dryer. Refurbished goods typically have minor cosmetic imperfections that allow them to be sold for significantly less than "non-damaged" products. They are in perfect working order and are typically brand new. Many websites such as www.combowasherdryer.com sell refurbished washers and dryers for cheap prices.

Consider buying an energy efficient washer and dryer. Energy efficient washers and dryers will save you money on your electricity bill and will make you eligible to participate in the "Cash for Appliances" federal program. This program will be in place by the end of 2009 and offers consumers rebates on appliances that are on the EPA's Energy Star certified energy-efficient list. Stackable washers and dryers and "all-in-one" washers and dryers are good options to look for when buying an energy efficient machine as they can save you money and space.
