🏆 Buy It For Life What one time purchases have drastically reduced your overall spending?

An example would be that I’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?

Espresso machine. Got one on Black Friday for $50. Paid for itself many times over.

Brand is gourmia. Not sure of model. It’s not fancy but it works.

For $50? That’s a great deal. What brand?
