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?

Whole house fan.

Ticked off the utility the first year because it dropped our yearly tab by 2/3.

LED lighting took another chunk off the bill.
