Re: buying used things
One thing that we rarely buy new is electronics. I am not out to impress anybody with my gadgets with all the bells and whistles on them. My husband and I both have computers and we just got done putting one together for my son and we didn't spend a dime on any of them. As a matter of fact, we just upgraded the size of our monitors today. We know way too many people that have to have the latest and greatest equipment and are willing to just throw out all their old stuff when they get it. We've gotten stereo and sound equipment, dvd/vcrs and televisions for free or for very cheap that way too. Our alarm clocks are even used (although you can get one of those for pretty cheap).
