Fixing a Sick Camera

Sometimes it just pays to have a family who chats about the silly things, about the boring things, about the everyday things. I mentioned that on Mother's Day our trusty point and shoot Canon digital camera died a painful death - at least it was painful to me! And it was no longer in warranty, the first thing to check when expensive things break! In passing I mentioned this to my brother-in-law, and he had heard in passing from someone he works with about a recall a few years ago.

A few years ago would work as our camera was not exactly new anymore! So we looked into and found this! The exact defect we were having was covered under the recall - they pay all the shipping and fix it for free!

So when something expensive breaks, look around a little bit - you might be pleasantly surprised! More and more we live in a disposable society, and the result is a lot of items are recalled for various reasons, but these things are not always advertised very well if it is not a children's toy, so it really is worth looking into it!

And it is hard to get more Frugal Friday than free!

P.S. I have an important to me post coming up later today.....something special for the long weekend!
