WWYD Crock Pot Related
A few weeks ago I dropped my crock pot lid and it cracked. I called GE and they don't sell replacement lids.
My mom suggested I try goodwill to see if they have any lids that would fit my pot.
I haven't had time to do that, but H is poo pooing my idea because he thinks I'm going to waste a ton of time/money driving around looking for a lid. He just wants me to go buy a new one and toss the old one. I hate to do that bc the old one is awesome and still in perfect working condition, except for the missing lid.
The new one that I'm considering is a little smaller, but gets really good reviews. It'll be about $40 to get the new one.
Would you get a new one, search for a new lid or do something else?
Re: WWYD Crock Pot Related
Does Goodwill have lids only? Will they sell just the lid?
I don't think I'd spend tons of time or go out of my way to look for a used one, because I'd assume I'd have to buy the entire used crock pot and I don't really want two crock pot bases laying around my house.
I vote you freecycle the one you have and go buy the one you want.
My mom was convinced that goodwill would have a bin of lids only that I could dig though to see if I can find something that works.
I know I won't find the exact lid, but anything that size/shape should work, right?

Your responses are making me sad in my pants!
*sigh* I know that it's easier to get a new one, but damn, I really love the old one.
You could give your old crock pot a funeral....
It would be a good way to say your "goodbyes."

But the crock pot and I never talked about if it wanted to be cremated or buried! What do I do?!
Cremate, and then make a new crock pot from it's ashes.

this post is making me laugh heartily!
I'd get a new one, too, UW. Sorry.
TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
THIS!
Well, honestly, you obviously have very strong feelings about your current crock. I say, go to one or two Goodwills and look for a suitable replacement. If you can't find it relatively easily after that, THEN get the new one. Give it a try but don't waste lots of time stress trying to replace the lid.
But you never know...I ruined the thin grater to our Ikea cheese grater. While a replacement would only be a few bucks, then I'd have extra bits lying around and really...it's wasteful. I happened to be at Goodwill browsing for project stuff and saw the exact same size grater lid for the Ikea thing and picked it up for a buck. I didn't waste money/time/gas going to get a new one for $4 where then I'd have all these extra pieces around the house, so I reduced/reused.

ok, this post got hysterical with the cremate vs. bury!
My thoughts: get a new one with a lid that fits the old one. That way you can just use the old one until it really bites the dust and then you'll have a new one all ready for you
In the mean time I would use it for storing stuff, or pot a plant in it 
Alternatively, you may find that you like the new one better, but sometimes they just don't make 'em like they used to.
