Saving Money!

[kybearfuzz]

I was planning on spending my entire tax return on new windows for my house. I kept looking at the money and thought of all the really cool things I could have done with it -- a trip to Ireland, a new Mac Computer, etc., but the joy of homeowning means you have to keep things fixed up.

The window replacement guy was just here to give me an estimate, not a bear, but a nice red-haired Irish kind of guy.

The good news: the price for replacement is almost $2,000 less than I'd budgeted!!!!

WOO HOO!!!

Based on how many estimates? Are you getting multiple estimates? Be careful unless you know the reputation of the contractor/installer.

It's always nice when you overbudget a little bit and their is a prize in the end. :)

Based only on one estimate, but the company came recommended from three separate coworkers, one of whom had already comparison shopped three other local companies. I feel pretty confident I got the best bargain, especially after they came below the amount I'd budgeted based on my coworker's price from her work.
