USE IT UP, WEAR IT OUT, ETC.

Years ago I heard the saying:

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.

Or something similar to that saying, obviously I am not quite sure if that is how it goes.

Today's hint to save money is.....don't buy it if you don't need it.....here are a few examples of how we have kept things for decades because they didn't wear out!!

1986 JC PENNEY MICROWAVE OVEN

LUSTRE CRAFT POTS AND PANS FROM THE 1970s with a few added

EMACHINE DESKTOP 2001?

TABLES HANDMADE BY THE HUBBIE'S UNCLE COREY early 1970s and LAMPS THAT WERE A HOUSEWARMING GIFT IN 1984 from OUR FRIEND DAVID....

If it isn't broken keep it.
