I'm a miser so I've got a couple:
Carried a microwave by hand for an hour on transit rather than have it delivered for like $10.
Rushing to hike up a mountain before sunset rather than taking an $8 gondola ride, I survived but my buddy who was with me had a sore foot for the next week.
Small suggestions? Start thinking of all your time at your hourly rate. You saved the $10 on a delivery fee but spent the hour of your time 'delivering' it yourself.
Yes, well that is why it's one of the craziest things I've done. Def not worth it in hindsight.
Delivery fee really stinks big or small.
My brother and I have carried a portable AC unit to his apartment once. We dragged it across the parking lot to the bus stop, took it on the bus, took it off the bus, crossed the road, took it into the building, and carried it into the elevator. In our case, I'd say it was worth it; the bus stop was right across the street from the building, so a car would not have reduced the effort by much. And the reason we even bought that AC unit was that the one my brother ordered on Amazon got stolen.
