Good morning again everyone,
I was looking on the Sears Website and found toaster ovens ranging
from around $25.00 to over $500.00. The high-end ones are probably meant
for small eateries and restaurants. Chest and upright deep freezers can
run anywhere from $500.00 to over $4000.00. The high-end deep freezers
are certainly more deep freezer than the average home owner would need.
