While shopping for a new appliance today (our stove/oven died last night) it occurred to me how addicted I am to 'new'.
What's wrong with getting a re-conditioned stove? Or a 'used' oven?
For years marketers have told us that 'new' is better and in some cases it is...however in light of the current state of affairs....the economy and the environment.... I stopped myself from sliding down the slippery slope of gleaming stainless steel and have instead opted to shop for a stove that has been reconditioned.
Not only will it cost me much less than a new one but I'll be putting one less hunk of junk in our landfills.
A point worth a ponder.
