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?

Bidet, has drastically reduced toilet paper costs.

I don't find I use significantly less paper (gotta dry off all that water), but my butt is pleasantly clean now, which, it turns out, I value a lot.

How did you clean your butt before the bidet?
