Garbage disposal --- Quick and cheap

My 15 year old garbage disposal sort of bit the dust. After removingit, I think it can be repaired, but too late, the new one is in place.This is sort of a mundane story,but there is money to be saved if youlook around. I knew what I wanted, a batch feed unit from eitherKitchenAid (what we had) or InSinkErator (same thing, differentbrand). When we first had the problem, my wife said "want to run to Lowes",but I declined and decided to hit the internet first. Lowes carried the model I wanted KBDS100T for $429 + tax ($455.81total in CT). They did not have it in stock, but would have it by May1 for pickup in the store. Amazon had it for $349 +$15.72 shipping. Sold by AJ Wholesale. Instock.Click, Click on to an electronics supplier out of Chicagoarea. $325 including shipping. I never ordered from them, but took a chance. It was ordered onTuesday night, shipped on Wednesday via UPS and delivered on Friday. Installed it this morning in less than an hour, including looking forthe *@#$ screwdriver my grandson used. $130 still in my pocket.I really like to shop local and support local merchants, but $130takes a while to earn. It wills till be spread around local though.Instead the appliance store, that money bought us lunch today, somenew shirts, etc. Buying a new shirt buys a bowl of rice for the kidthat sewed it in Bangladesh.

That sounds good, but if I understand Malcom correctly you have to pay for the kid from Bangladesh to come to your house. Extra if he buys his ticket less than 2 weeks in advance.
