thanks kero... yes, we do have a restore and plenty of thrift shops.

Currently breadmakers are running at $20 with no guarantee of working and looking pretty nasty.... dishwashers are only on craigslist beat up as all hell or priced as new, calculators, never thought of the pawn shops, but really, she's the oldest of 3 and it'll be good through college. Some things really need to be new -there were some on craigslist but they never answered emails and the prices were meh anyway,and the condition is unknown. I got a discontinued but OK one from Amazon for $86 instead of $160. Microwaves -you only ever see bulit in over the range ones in the Habitat here, and the other thrift stores have stopped selling them. The reuse center has them, but they're old and nasty and not guaranteed. And we have needs above and beyond the very basic. we're not poor poor -although it's been damn tough recently- but why the fuck do all of these things have to go at once? I hate having to prioritize on "everyday essentials". We also need a new roof and two new cars in the grand scheme of things.....

We're computer shopping tonight, though -can't take any more.....
