Incidently, I think we only did a Big Box purchase once with this. We don’t invest much in electronics, and when we do, it’s usually something small. We did a TV this way, but most of our purchases are much smaller. Most of my “no interest” purchases are household items: carpeting, windows, a/c, furnace…that type of thing.
