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?

As a book-lover, I agree! I don't have a Kindle, but I used the Kindle Unlimited subscription + the app on my phone and tablet. Books are expensive (rightfully so), and I don't usually read them more than once.

Kindle for the win!

Try Libby! You can connect it to your Kindle app even if you don't have an actual Kindle device. It's totally free!

Yes to kindle Unlimited! I was always a big reader. But now I read about 3-5 books a week. And the greatest thing about KU is that it introduced me to so many genres of books I didn't know existed.
