Help Lily and Elliot buy new home appliances!

The advent of modern appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators had a profound impact on 20th Century society, according to a new Université de Montréal study. Plug-in conveniences transformed women's lives and enabled them to enter the workforce, says Professor Emanuela Cardia, from the Department of Economics. Within a short time-span, household technology became accessible to the majority. In the late 1910s, a refrigerator sold for $1,600 and 26 years later such appliances could be purchased for $170. Access to electric stoves, washing machines and vacuum cleaners was also generalized.

While the above snippet comes from a scholarly article and is true to the best of our knowledge, what is not true is that a new refrigerator costs only $170 today. Help us buy some new home appliances for our new house, and we promise to treat you to a dinner cooked with those very same appliances!
