How far do you go with the “fix-and-repair” rather than “replace” philosophy for the little stuff?
I go a little over the top at times, I must admit. Getting ready for the storm has me planning to darn socks, mend old sweatpants, patch my reusable grocery bags (really? Geez, they only cost a buck to replace!), and maybe rewire a lamp. Total cost of replacement of these things would likely be about $15 at most, but I get enormous satisfaction from fixing stuff, and I hate waste.
I’m not really talking about the bigger things, it makes good sense to fix cars and appliances, I mean the silly small things.
What about you?
