Okay, so that's not entirely true, but the government is helping out anyone who wants to purchase new appliances. As part of the Stimulus Package, the government is giving $50-$200 rebates for purchasing new energy efficient appliances, as if I needed another excuse to drool over sleek, gadget-y kitchen refrigerators or dishwashers. Unlike the "Cash for Clunkers" program, buyers don't have to trade in their old appliances to get the rebate, which is great for people like me, who got a little overzealous making freezer jam and chicken stock this summer. The foodie in me says, I'm not a serious fisherman or hunter needing more freezer space or thinking about a sudden kitchen remodel, but I've always wanted the perfect excuse to "go in" on a whole pig, and now would be the perfect time for a new chest freezer.
