I bought a portable air conditioner from Costco.
Air conditioner from Costco, Sharp CV-P10NC
I am a smart shopper. I always clip coupons. I always comparison shop. When I buy anything, I am almost certain that I am paying the lowest price anywhere.
But this time, a major heatwave was fore-casted for the weekend. So, I headed out to Costco without doing any kind of comparison shopping. This was a dangerous move because not everything is cheap at Costco. Sometimes you can save more when you shop outside of Costco.
The air conditioner of my choice was Sharp CV-P10NC with 10,000BTU cooling power. I paid $482.61 in cash. Right after shopping at Costco, I went to Fry's to see what I can find. There, I saw a very similar air conditioner with slightly more cooling power at 11,500BTU. But this model was priced at $649.99 ($697.11 after tax).
This made me feel at ease that I made a wise purchase from Costco. I tend to trust Costco more and more. But, I should always remember to comparison shop.
Another happy purchase from Costco.
