People were lining up Monday morning at one appliance store to take advantage of the Cash for Appliances program.
Those at Karl's in Rapid City, say people were buying washers, dryers, and even dishwashers
To kickoff the first day of the program, Karl's opened the doors at 7:00 A.M.
Between 50 and 70 people were in buying, one manager at Karl's says if they see sales over the next few weeks like they did on Monday, it'll give the local economy a boost.
Frank Roost, Karl’s Manager said, "Not to mention helping people on their electric bill, that's what this is all about is to save energy."
Tyler Bertalot of Rapid City says, "All this is gonna do, is help a few people, boost a few sales, but all in all I don't think it's gonna do much at all."
Rapid City’s Tim Emergy said, "It possibly could, but it also eats into the deficit, so you have to take the good with the bad."
"Well I guess if it kick-starts the economy we had better do it." Said Milow McPherson of Rapid City
David Wetch of Rapid City said, "Energy efficient appliances are probably good, and if it kick starts the local economy would be good."
But remember, there's only a limited amount of money for the rebate.
That's why it's a first come first serve basis and remember once you buy the appliance you have to mail in the rebate.
