For fridge, micro, oven, and dishwasher, we paid as much as we would've for just the fridge and dishwasher somewhere else (ie, basically got the microwave and oven free)-- and that's even after updgrading to a french door refrigerator and double oven. And definitely spring for the french door refrigerator-- it makes a surprising difference.

- check out Steve's Blinds for window coverings-- best prices I've found and good quality
You said you got Frigidaire Gallery appliances? That's pretty much exactly what we are looking for. They had a decent deal but we didn't want the side by side freezer/fridge. We want a bottom door style fridge. The one we want is more $$, but they wouldn't let us upgrade the fridge to a different one for that deal. So we're going to look elsewhere.
