I finally got the situation solved, I think. I took the bagger back to the Sears store and they refunded my money, however it took several hours and the help of the store manager to work through the system that Sears.com had created. As previously mentioned I went to a Sears store to buy the bagger and instead of Sears ordering the bagger through the register, the clerk ordered it through the Sears.com terminal in the tractor Department. Don't ever do this. I ordered three items including the bagger and everything was fine until they shipped only the Bagger. Apparently because the other item was being shipped from the manufacturer, Sears.com did not show the order as completed and therefore sears.com went into the spin cycle. Luckily I had the printout from the store computer as it was the only record that existed at this point showing that I had paid for the merchandise. Now that the store had taken care of the refund on the bagger I thanked them for their help and now it was off to Sears.com. When I called Sears.com I figured I would just order the correct Bagger and that would be that. Wrong again, Sears.com did not have the bagger I wanted and said the Bagger I had ordered was the correct one and that I would just have get a kit from Husqvarna to retrofit the Bagger to the tractor drawbar. The conversation was similar to sharing your computer problems with the software guy in Pakistan. So I started searching the web for the number of the bagger I needed and it came up on Sears Parts Direct. I then called Sears Parts Direct and told them my story and they said we have the bagger you need, but you will have to go through Sears.com. I called Sears.com back and they said I would have to order it from Sears Parts Direct because they have one and we don't. I said then why don't you get one from Sears Parts Direct and then ship it to me since I have already paid a huge shipping charge. No No No, it doesn't work that way, you must order it from Sears Parts Direct. So I called Sears Parts Direct and they said the Bagger will cost $469.99 plus $15.99 shipping. Anyway, to keep this story from becoming a novel in paperback, I ended up ordering the right bagger from Sears Parts Direct. They must have felt sorry for me and let me have it for $399.99, but I had to pay the $15.99 for shipping. Well, so much for the Sears Family and Friends 10% discount promotion night where the bagger was $359.00. I think I ended up paying as much for the merchandise as I did the shipping in this deal. So, the next time I need tractor parts or attachments I will give Sears Parts Direct a call first as they were very professional and knew exactly what bagger my tractor took. Now I will just sit back and hope the bagger shows up before the snow flies.

Our Sears (so I will assume every other Sears) is having its Friends and Family event tonight. Kenmore appliances are 20% off this week, but tonight from 6pm-9pm there is an additional 10% off. I think the other appliances are 10% off with an additional 10% off from 6-9. I just thought I would share this info...An extra 10% really adds up with big ticket items. I think we are going to buy the Kenmore or Samsung French Door refrigerator. Happy shopping!

If it's a slide in, I think that you need to wait till the granite is in till you install the range. My contractor is doing that - installing all of the appliances after everything is in. The cabinet maker and the granite fabricator will need the Kenmore cut out directions/dimensions. You generally have a couple of inches of counter top behind a slide in, so that would be another reason why the granite needs to go in first. This is why I want my contractor to install it. I'm worried the Sears crew will be in too much of a hurry, and they will scratch or mar my granite during install. The legs need to be adjusted so that the range just barely skims over the countertop in the back and on the sides. Therefore, it's important that the cabinets/countertop is very level for a nice tight fit. I hear your husband on the knobs, it was definitely a concession for me. I am fearful now that I'll be the only one able to operate this very "starship" looking range. But, since DD and I are the only ones who cook in my house, we should be fine. But, that is also why I bit the bullet and got the 5 year warranty. Knob controls tend to last - who knows about this digital temp adjustment. One good thing is that it's supposed to make the temps more precise, and goes down to simmer on each burner. Oh well - I hope you enjoy your Profile!

I (we) bought a fridge! It was actually 27% off, and then I got the 10% discount on top of that! It was craaaazy busy there; I had to wait awhile for someone to help me. Then as I was leaving, the lingerie dept. was right by the exit door, I thought "why not pick up some 'unmentionables'?" (as grandma would say)" and I got those for an additional 20% off the clearance price. Hard to pass that up. All in all, a successful shopping trip. So, thanks again for the tip!
