Sometimes it makes more sense to rent items than buy them.

For example, a few years ago, my husband was installing a fence on our property. We did not need to buy a posthole digger, which runs $219-

So he went to Home Depot and rented one for $50/day. And saved over $150.

So Why Is It Good to Rent?

There are times when it makes a lot more sense to rent!

• If you only need an item once, like equipment from Home Depot
• Need an item for a limited time
• Need an item for a special occasion like a wedding, like a fake cake.
• You just want to try out an item before buying. For example, this could include musical instruments, sporting equipment or photography equipment.
• You also want to encourage a more sustainable environment and cut down on waste.
• Your home has a lack of storage space.
• You don’t want extra tools, etc. cluttering up your home.
