Lawn Mowers for Under $500 Dollars
Well my roommates and I decided to try saving a few bucks every month and promptly alerted our gardeners that we would not be needing their lawn mowing services until further notice. I am starting to think it was the dumbest way to save a few dollars. Turns out this lawn upkeep thing is much harder than I anticipated. 
First things first, we needed to purchase our own lawn mower! We all pitched in and decided we could not afford or want to invest in a model worth more than 500 dollars, just in case this ended up being a short term money shaving theory.
So here are some lawn mowers I found for less than $500 dollars:
My first choice is this 21 inch high wheel, bagged, push mower from Poulan. Has 5 different height settings so you can spare your back and adjust the level of the handlebars to your optimal setting. Has an attached bag to collect the lawn debris and a 6.0 torque engine.
Plus it was $378.09 but is on sale now for: $266.64 (you save $111.45)

2. The Black & Decker Cordless Mulching Mower

- Rechargeable Battery Recharges to 60-70% in 4 Hours and to 100% in 16 Hours
- Hassle-free Starting With the Flip of a Switch
- One-touch Height Adjustment Adjusts All Four Wheels With the Touch of a Button
Folding Push-handle Has Adjustment Which Folds Down so Mower Stores in Less Space.
-2 Year Warranty and No Assembly required
Price $399.95 (but has a Free shipping coupon)

3. Black & Decker Mulching Electric Mower from Ace Hardware
Well first of all it’s electric, because who could afford a “gas” mower right now? 
Cuts a width of 18 inches, mulches your lawn debris and expels on the side. There is no side bag attached but I think the “mulching” feature pretty much takes care of that. I personally would like to collect and dispose of the debris but I may be wrong. The Black & Decker electric mower has a single lever height adjustment feature and a lifetime warranty for the deck.
Price $209.99

4. Black & Decker Electric Mower
Last but certainly not least is the Black & Decker Electric Mower! Lightweight and easy to maneuve, this model is also electric. The one lever height adjustment lets you adjust all four wheels at once.
No gas, No tuneups, No oil … makes it super easy to maintain and start!
Price $159.99

Well I hope these options prove useful to you if you are in the market for a new lawn mower or are planning on buying one for the first time like I was. Happy Humpday Everyone!
