I like popcorn, and since it is a fairly healthy snack, I eat it quite a bit. Several years ago, my grandmother bought me an air popper. This air popper has withstood weekly use for several years. A few weeks ago, it stopped working and we had to get rid of it.
Instead of automatically getting a new one, I went online and tracked down a way to pop popcorn in the pan - you know, the old fashioned way. ;) It is fairly easy (especially because my hubby makes it for me) and delicious.
I still think I'd like a new air popper, but I am hoping to "use what we have" until my birthday or Christmas when I'm hoping I will get a new one.
I have been trying to employ the "use what you have" philosophy for clothing as well lately, but that will be a separate post coming soon.
How often do you "use what you have" instead of going out and buying something new?

Oh...and I recently found a darling scarf at a thrift shop for under $2, and I bravely wore it yesterday. I am not so confident with scarves, but I took the plunge!
I need to use what I have in the 'fabric' department. That is something that's always in my mind...buying fabric and crafting things can be addictive. =)
