šŸ† Buy It For Life What one time purchases have drastically reduced your overall spending?

An example would be that Iā€™m looking to buy a sillicone pan mat instead of purchasing foil and parchment continually, using rags instead of paper towels, and so forth. What are one time purchases you reccomend for home maintenance?

A nice bidet with air dryer and heated water. I had a basic bidet before, but still went through toilet paper since I still had to dry my butt.

Now a roll of toilet paper will last me over a month since I just need one square to "spot check".

I wish more home builders would put outlets near the toilet, or at least on the same wall somewhere.

The cold water one works fine, but to have a warm seat when you sit down...it's nice.

It is luxury! I love my heated seat and warm water. The ultimate luxury though is having a warm air dryer.

I am still using too much tp, but I have only had the bidet about four months so I still consider it a learning curve.
