Pro tip: my neighbor's "make it last" list on the fridge got me to finally fix my $4 thrift store lamp
Saw a note stuck to her fridge in Keene that said "fix it before you replace it" and it hit me hard, so I rewired that lamp with $6 of cord instead of tossing it. What's the cheapest repair you've pulled off that made you feel like you beat the system?

A $6 cord is still $6 plus your time, and a new lamp at Walmart runs about $12, so you saved maybe the cost of a coffee. That fridge list sounds cute until you add up all the hours spent tinkering on junk that was on its last legs anyway. Sometimes tossing the thing and buying new is the real money saver.
