Generally I try to fix. As a general rule, I try to not buy "throw-away" crap and instead go for stuff that will last and/or otherwise not require throwing away in short order. In other words, I consider life cycle costs and tend to gravitate towards the "better" stuff.

I've had good luck fixing/repairing a lot of things but I occasionally get a stumper - case in point I have a bread maker that snapped a drive belt several years ago and I've been trying that long to source a replacement one! But I'm weird like that. I can't justify tossing it and buying a new one for $100 when I know that someone out there has a perfectly good replacement belt that will cost me about $1.00.
