As I write this (July 30) the annual Massachusetts tax holiday weekend is still 9 days away, but we're already busy prewriting quotes for customers. If past years are any indication, each day between now and August 8 will only get busier!

(For specifics on how we go about "pre-writing" an order for you, scroll down a bit to my 7-17 entry.)

Now, please don't take this the wrong way, but -- we really would rather you don't come into the store that weekend!! 

No, if it's possible, try to come in early.  Not only will we be able to spend more time with you, but we try to order merchandise on a "first come, first served" basis, minimizing the chance of the inevitable temporary stock-outs that can hinder your delivery time turnaround.

We're trying our best to stock up extra merchandise as we prepare for the extra business!

We now also have a better idea of the deals the manufacturers are offering us (you can find a copy of our current flyer linked on the front page of our site).

I'm going to use the three-piece GE stainless steel package on the front page of our circular as an example of what you can save right now (in addition to the tax savings, of course!)

Right now, as per our ad, you can purchase a decent, albeit basic, three-piece package (refrigerator, range, dishwasher) for $1817 (vs. a regular price of $2727.)  This package gets you a top-freezer style refrigerator built for a 30" wide space, a decent but not overly feature-loaded electric range, and one of our more popular basic dishwashers. (Please note that I've included links to product info on our website.)

GRF400SVSS Range   https://www.mannystv.com/cooking/ranges/freestanding-smoothtop-electric-range/ge-appliances/GRF400SVSS

GDT550PYRFS dishwasher  https://www.mannystv.com/kitchen-cleanup/dishwashers/built-in-dishwasher/ge-appliances/GDT550PYRFS

If this kitchen suite isn't exactly what you have in mind (and to be honest, nearly everybody tweaks and customizes the advertised suites), we can use this set as a baseline and adjust accordingly.

For example, if you need a gas range vs. electric, we can get the equivalent model GGF400PVSS for $70 more.  https://www.mannystv.com/cooking/ranges/30-free-standing-gas-range/ge-appliances/GGF400PVSS

If you want a larger refrigerator, we offer the GTS22KYNRFS  for $899, or $200 more.  https://www.mannystv.com/refrigeration/top-mount/top-freezer-refrigerators/ge-appliances/GTS22KYNRFS 

If you have a larger kitchen and can fit a contemporary-looking French door model like the popular GFE26JYMFS, you can get that for an upgrade of $1200.    https://www.mannystv.com/refrigeration/french-door/french-door-bottom-freezer-refrigerators/ge-appliances/GFE26JYMFS

Or, let's say you'd like a quieter dishwasher with a stainless steel tub v.s. plastic, and a third rack.  The GDT670SYVFS is a great seller, and would only cost you $649, or $230 more.   https://www.mannystv.com/kitchen-cleanup/dishwashers/built-in-dishwasher/ge-appliances/GDT670SYVFS

All these combinations will still fully qualify for the tax savings!

Also, be aware of package rebates that are available only to independent retailers like Manny's!  Buying two or more qualifying appliances (they need to be the same brand) will kick in extra cash after the sale!  Not every model qualifies, but most of them do.

So, yes, we strongly encourage all our customers who plan on taking advantage of the Bay State's tax holiday to visit our showroom as far in advance as possible.  We're ready and eager to help you out!!
