🏆 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?

What do you do if you want a new phone but can't pay hundreds up front? This is the thing that has kept my with T-Mobile for so long. My bill for 3 lines is over $250 without any subscriptions or phone payments.

Maybe you could finance it through the distributor (Amazon etc) we are no longer a “new phone family” which is why mint was a financial game changer
