10. Air fryers work great as stop gaps

My soft touch buttons became unusable on my last stove. The part cost half of what a new stove cost. Given that the stove was 23 years old, we made do with a counter top air fryer oven and microwave until we could save for a new stove.

We ended up going to a scratch and dent store and got a really nice Samsung for 500 dollars . The only flaw was the enamel was a bit thin on the very top of the stove. I am work neighbors with the store so that may have saved me some money.

Also try internet classifieds like Facebook's "What ya got (town name)." There is one for most towns or counties. Just be safe if you get one this way. You don't want to end up in a sex dungeon.

Good luck MissMillie.
