It was ten dollars, but I got it for seven - a saving of three dollars.
My savings are in a bank account. "A savings is" indeed. Harrumph. You might as well say "a Lego".

Or rewrite the sentence, "It was ten dollars, but I got it for seven, saving three dollars."
A savings of two words! ![]()

We are in the middle of our kitchen redo and had already decided to replace the stove cooktop but keep the GE double oven which is 12 years old but seemed to be working fine.... then it died.
On the good side, it allows me to redesign the cabinets I am going to build to take a wider 30 inch model, I just wasn't expecting to have to shell out another $2400 or so for new ovens. ![]() |

It can be repaired for a fraction of that if you like it. If you lived in this area, I could give you the number of a fantastic appliance repair guy. But if you're looking for an excuse to upgrade...

Actually, I had it looked at once before when it did this and it will cost about $600 to replace 2 components. Last time the guy said he could do a work around but if it gave the error code F7 it would mean it was toast. It actually worked for 5 more years after he fixed it.
I figure it's not worth putting $600 into a 12 year old appliance. And as I do all the cooking I would prefer a wider oven, even with a double oven it's a challenge to do a big family holiday meal with the narrow model we have. |

If you do your maths right you may be able to incur a savings of up to 6 to 800 dollars.

'zactly!
And I'd forgotten the 'up to.' It's the 'up to' that really sets the stage when you're imagining your saving(s). What are the increments of saving? If you save a penny, do you have A saving? If you save 2 pennies, then your savings is more than one? |

From E.B. White's Elements of Style, quoting Mencken (I think)
"Are there any news?" "Not a new." Mencken felt that since news had an S at the end it must be plural. The reporter he asked ran with it.

So the rescue lady asked that I write a letter to her and the board about why I'm good for Toby. I sent it last night and she texted saying she would try to read it today, but "some time must pass." What? How much more time needs to pass? I feel like she's putting me through the ringer just to say no.
