If it's still on the list in a year, I will buy it. That gives me plenty of time to think about whether I really need it and really want to spend that much on it. And yes - I'm cash only. Sometimes during that year, I will find one at a quarter of the cost, or less, at a garage sale and I'll allow myself to buy it then. And sometimes, family or friends have a spare one they are parting with. Getting the word out that you are looking for something specific helpsalso. As does freecycle sometimes :) If it’s over $100 item, it goes on a list inside my cupboard door. If it’s still on the list in a year, I will buy it.
