Beg, Borrow, or Buy?

Do you really need to buy it? Most people head to the store when they need something.  Here are a couple options you might want to think about before laying out your hard earned cash.

1. Can you get it free or second hand? Craigslist, Freecycle, and Thrift Shops are options you might want to check first.

2. Can you borrow it? Forking out money for something you will use infrequently is a waste... just make sure you take it back after you borrow it! 

3. Can you swap for it? We all have things tucked away in our closets and garages that are gathering dust, if you aren't using it, consider trading for something you need! Sites like Neighborgoods, Trashbank, Craigslist, Zwaggle, and Swap.com have options for trading.

Sometimes retail should be your last option instead of your first.  Just something to think about.
