Been working on not purchasing “things” so much as purchasing materials to make the things I need/want and it’s been paying off in spades.

Needed new bath mat. Had the last one for 7 years, paid $20. So $2.86 a year.

Bought cotton cording and I’m stick weaving some of the best mats I’ve ever owned, and I’m not even good at this.

They’re going to last decades for 6 sticks and some cotton cording, cost $34. I’ll have two mats from this cord which brings it to $17 per mat. No joke these mats with the right care can last 20 years.

Brings the bath mat cost down to $1.18.

Less than half the cost for better thing for longer.

Makes the time worth it, because time has value, but it’s fun for me so I get the entertainment as a “cost.”
