We bought a new fridge. When we got the deposit, I took what equals one week's pay from it, paid some bills, put the rest in the bank for a fridge and a new floor...
Well, the store offers a 3 month, 0 interest store card, so I took it, put the fridge on it. It'll cost 250 a month, less than I put into the savings anyway, so we won't lose it and we won't have to pay any interest on the purchase.
I can still get the kitchen floor and not make much of a dent in the savings.
Thanks, Uncle Sam. You made my passbook look purty.
