For high-quality cabinets in a variety of styles at a moderate price, it’s hard to beat Costco. Ready-to-assemble cabinets by Euro-RTA (delivered flat) run $1,785 to $2,665 for a 10-foot-by-10-foot kitchen; semi-custom cabinets by All Wood Cabinetry (delivered assembled) run $3,035 to $4,648.

If you buy at least three appliances (refrigerator, stove and dishwasher) from the same manufacturer and product line, you’ll earn a significant discount or rebate and achieve a coordinated look. For example, in late March Sears advertised the Kenmore Pro Stainless Steel Kitchen Suite (four pieces, including a microwave oven) for $5,830—a discount of 37.5% from the suggested retail prices of the items.
