Odd Things You Can Rent That Make Perfect Sense

You may have a need for something just once or a recurring need but for something that includes upgrades often so your thoughts are, 'should you rent or buy.'

Renting goes beyond homes and can apply to pretty much everything. Here are six weird things you can save money on by renting, according to Cheapism: 

1.  Legos.  Pley.com rents Lego sets for as low as $15 a month, with free shipping.  And every time you send one back, you get a new set.

2.  Designer dresses.  RentTheRunway.com lets you rent stuff for up to eight days.  Then you send it back, and they take care of the cleaning so a $500 dress costs about 30 bucks to rent, and you can also rent accessories.

3.  Artwork.  A website called TurningArt.com rents paintings for as low as $10 a month, with free shipping.  You just send them back when you want to, like Netflix.

4.  Goats.  RentAGoat.com is for people who want an eco-friendly way to clear huge areas of weeds and grass.

5.  Caskets.  A lot of funeral homes offer casket rentals now.  It's mostly for people who want to be cremated, but their family wants to have a funeral first.

6.  Wedding cakes.  On CakeRental.com, you can rent a Styrofoam cake covered in real icing.  They mail it to you, and there's a section cut out where you put a REAL slice to cut and eat for wedding pictures.  Then you serve everyone else sheet cake.
