A new smartphone. Mine stopped working yesterday, out of the blue. Rather than rushing out to the store to purchase a brand new one at full price, I posted a notice on Facebook asking if any friends had an old phone lying around that I could borrow for a couple weeks. Someone did! Knowing that I have a little more time to pursue a better option, I then found a local electronics repair shop. The closest repair shop is located in another city, but DH was about to pass through that city anyway on his way to a party. So, I asked DH to drop the phone off at the repair shop on his way. If the old phone can't be fixed, I'll be able to keep the loaner phone long enough to order a suitable used phone from ebay. Saved: the exorbitant cost of the plastic wrapping on a brand new phone, mileage to drive to another city, my free time this afternoon- which I can now use to work on the awesome chicken coop and bee hive I've been building from scratch.
