You should be able to stay within your budget. I have recently purchased a KA fridge, Bosch induction range, GE range hood, Bosch dishwasher, and Sharp microwave drawer for about $7,200.

We got a floor model fridge at Pacific Sales at a great savings, that store always has great discounts on floor models. Also look at Lowes and if you open a consumer credit card you get 5% off all purchases.

My big spluge was the Bosch induction range. Good luck! You can definitely stay within budget if you shop around.

Thank you all! I have so far went with a KA fridge the 5 door model and thats due to arrive next week. I splurged on the fridge as that will be the cornerstone of the kitchen and everything else will done with an eye toward the budget. Good suggestions on floor models and sales at sears. I will be sure to update.
