I never thought of the Habitat for Humanity ReStore for appliances! I’m going to have to check ours out! Thanks for the tip, Kristin!

Words of wisdom. Fortunately, my hubby is very handy, so he can often fix stuff when it breaks. He was the state small engine champion in 9th grade, after all. :) We also have bought several used appliances over the years. It’s a really good option. My husband had been dying to buy a deep freeze for ages, and then he came across a friend selling one for 50 bucks. Perfect! A Habitat for Humanity ReStore just opened in our town, and I’m so excited about it! Lots of towns have them, and they usually have perfectly good appliances people took out of their houses when renovating.

Great tips. You are absolutely right about the impulse to just run out and buy a new one.

Paula and Hilda, I have so been there!

Heidi, you are absolutely right. I think that even when our budgets are cut to the bone and we feel like we don’t have anything to spare, we need to be thinking about how we can bless others. It not only helps others, but I think it helps our own attitudes when we are constantly thinking about what we can give, rather than what we can get.
