Re-learning the wisdom of our parents’ and grandparents, Americans are learning how to repair instead of re-buy (although we hate admitting that they’re right about it). It’s cheaper and often works just as well as buying something new.
Take your backyard grill, for example. A part wears out or breaks. Three years ago, you would have bought a new grill. Problem solved. Now, you can find a new part on the internet, buy it, have it shipped to your door, and repair your grill for a fraction of the cost of a new one. Epic win for you and your pocketbook.

It’s simple and easy to find grill replacement parts online. Fifteen minutes, and you’re done. No driving around, no searching the store, no hauling home a new grill. It’s not rocket science, but it’s economical and it’s easy to do. Replacing grill parts stretches out the life of your grill for decades. And we can re-learn to appreciate the value of something that lasts for a long time, even in our ‘throw-away’ culture.
Replacing worn grill parts is just one example of ways to be efficient about your money. The internet makes so much about our lives more entertaining and complex that it’s quite easy to overlook the ways that it makes our lives simpler and easier to manage. When you’re trying to economize, using the internet as a tool to find what you need online, so that you can be smarter about how you use your resources.
