Buying used appliances is not always a bad idea either. Sometimes you have no choice but to replace the unit but don't have the funds for brand new. Try to be careful who you are buying from and always check to ensure the unit is in good working order and is well taken care of before dishing out the cash. There are lots of scammers out there so ensure you don't give deposits on items over the internet either as it is very easy to be ripped off.
Depending on which appliance is beginning to go decide whether or not you can live without it for a little while giving yourself time to save for a new unit.

There is always an option if you have no funds for a new appliance.
Taking proper care of your appliances can ensure they last for years, always try to do your best and care for your items properly so they don't end up in the garbage before their time.
