Highlights of 2004, Number 6

6. Electioneering. You’d have to be under a rock not to know the big news story this year was the U.S. elections.

Sears Outlet Store

I’ve driven by the Sears Outlet Store on Six Forks Road many times on my way to work but never stopped by there until today. Needless to say, I’m impressed. It’s a treasure trove of Kenmore appliances and other Sears products. There are dozens of refrigerators, washers and dryers, along with a handful of ranges and window air conditioners. All are 15-20% less than the retail versions, with some discounted even greater than that!

I went in search of a new dishwasher. There was only one, a Frigidaire model that listed “cosmetic damage,” though I didn’t see any damage. It was $80 less than the same retail model. We may buy it this week.

Anyway, if you’re in the market for a new (or almost-new) refrigerator or washer, you should definitely pay a visit first to the outlet store. It’s on the Atlantic Avenue end of Six Forks road, next to the railroad overpass.
