I think most people would rather toss something out and buy new than try to repair things. One benefit of the crummy economy has been that shoe repairmen are doing a booming business these days. Maybe some people are starting to catch on to the idea of repairing rather than replacing. Good point. I think most people would rather toss something out and buy new than try to repair things.

Fix things that are broken. Many times it is easier to throw something out and buy a new one, even if it is less expensive to fix it. As an example, our vacucum cleaner stoped working. Ended up with an easy fix to order a new switch. Around $12 and just a little time the thing works like new. New vacuum would have cost around $200.
