WE HAVE A WINNER! While a few members WERE within 5%, this is the closest. Sending a PM.

Price for the set of washer & dryer was $1396.60

These were special order, Best Buy was the only retailer who have them as a floor model in my area and were on sale there for $1599.89 for the set!

I purchased at Sears like this:

Sears ONLINE ONLY price for washer (got store manager to approve):

$849.99 (Online sale price)
-$ 85.00 (10% off columbus day special online only discount thru 10/13)
$764.99
-$ 76.50 (10% off for using a sears credit card valid thru 10/11)
$688.49
-$ 15.51 (random discount I don't know where it came from)
$672.98
-$ 6.73 ("shopyourway" rewards)

TOTAL PRICE FOR WASHER = $666.25

Price for Dryer (sears price was $999):

$849.99 (Price match with Best Buy weekly ad)
-$ 15.00 (Price match beat the deal guarantee)
$834.99
-$ 83.50 (10% discount for using a sears credit card valid thru 10/11)
$751.49
-$ 13.76 (random discount I don't know where it came from)
$737.73

TOTAL PRICE FOR DRYER = $730.35


Funny thing is, the NEXT MODEL LOWER costs more!?! It's seems that this washer/dryer set is being pushed by samsung this week as many places have this set on sale. We did pay a bit more for the color as we have a first floor laundry/mud room where they are visible. The wife made a good point that we will be staring at them for (hopefully) the next 10+ years so we went with the more attractive color over white.

I also talked the manager into free delivery/installation. The 10% sears card discount was suppose to be "choose free delivery OR the 10% discount OR free financing for 18 months." I never pay interest on credit cards, only use them for promotions and other "deals" offered.
