    “Walmart rentals”

    If you need a product for a project but can’t afford it, go buy it at Walmart, use it, and when you’re done return it. Their return policy is pretty no questions asked, especially if you have a receipt. I had a roommate do this with an iPad he needed for a semester in college. I think it was a 14 day return policy, so he’d back it up and take it back every 13 days, then just buy a new one and repeat until the semester was over.

    Even if you don’t have a receipt, actually. I’ve returned things I bought at Target to Walmart and gotten a refund. Granted, that was a few years ago.
