My husband is going on a month-long European tour and we mentioned to friends in passing that we needed to buy a hard shell suitcase. Now he’s got offers of four different sizes!

love this! No need for all of you to own your own suitcases if you're not all traveling simultaneously...

I love a sharing economy! In our neighbourhood, we have a pretty good routine of asking to borrow things. We hire my son's bikes, we just have 1 kid so we don't have a hand-me-down recipient and reselling seems like a faff. When he's outgrown his bike, we just book an exchange and a nice man comes to the house and swaps them.

I also run the PTA's uniform reuse project. You can drop your good condition uniforms once you're done and pick up the next size.

@Coree- that uniform swap sounds amazing. What a smart idea.

A child is learning how to play an instrument. I was thinking of renting one, but thought maybe I am the only one who would think like that. Thanks for the reminder!

@Mushky - lots of instrumental rental companies around here! How does anyone know if your kid will like or hate the tenor sax? Best to rent first!
