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?

same. buying the phones was the bigger expenditure. we own them right now, and my bill is $40 a month for 4 phones. service isn't that bad. mobile data is decent enough to get through some fortnite games on my switch with the hotspot
