Repair versus Replace

Instead of spending $1,000 on that beautiful new couch, you
might consider one of two options. If your couch frame is still
good, you might spend $300 to have it recovered or purchase a
quality slipcover for $100.

Your couch will look brand new for much less, than it would to
replace.
Another example would be if you have a lamp that you want to
replace. Consider painting it and adding a new shade rather than
spending money to buy a brand new one.
Perhaps you have a washer, dryer, or refrigerator that is running
a little sluggish. Find out the cost of repair over that of
purchasing a new one.
Even if you have an appliance with the wrong color, businesses
offer fantastic paint jobs. With a little creativity, you will be
amazed at how much can be repaired, thus saving you money.
Plus why not make some money from the same thing? Pretty up
old lamps and sell them.
