And then I started noticing how many people shop in the grocery stores without a coupon box / binder ... and get to the checkout lane and tell the clerk "I don't have a shopper card" ... and bring a bakery cake to a potluck saying "I didn't have time to cook" ????

So many people have a belt or timer break on a 2-3 year old appliance, then instead of getting it fixed or fixing it themselves they go out and purchase new. Not only does this fill our landfills with unnecessary junk, it is just such a waste of money! My husband just repaired our dishwasher with a simple part from Sears for $13. I had actually thought about buying new one since ours is over 10 years old, but now it works perfectly. Yeah for us! You are so very right about appliance repairs.
