I’m all for buying as locally as possible.
And for re-using, re-purposing items.
I try to buy quality items rather than just cheap but this is a challenge.
My dad was so cheap he squeaked.
I learned the hard way to buy better quality and not buy junk twice and end up spending more money in the long run and still have junk.
Mr. mm sometimes still has that mentality but we’re working on it.
One of the best ways I’ve found to do it is to look at the cheapest, it’ll do what I want, and compare it to the one I want that’s better quality and then figure, I’ll be spending the money anyway, cause we need it so is the difference in cost worth it for the better quality.
Usually yes, but sometimes, no.
