When I moved a few years ago I decided to try existing without a microwave oven to see how it went. I haven’t bothered to buy one, and I don’t miss it. I don’t eat crap like frozen TV dinners, so I have little use for this appliance. My point is, try going without one for a while. You may find it’s one of those things that you think you need because everyone has one, but in fact has little utility, and is just something else that you need to clean. Then, get rid of your garbage disposal.
