This is true and I had made up my mind some time ago that If I am going to be able to stay in this place I need to get the things that are going to help me do that. The repairs and such around the house aren't cheap but I am happy with the results so far and gives me some peace of mind.

Absolutely agree... ...and nice new avatar btw,...(y)
 

Y'all! I have two dish towels that are more than 100 years old. Truly! They were made from flour sacks and have stood the test of time. I inherited them from MIL. They're hardly showing any wear at all...muslin lasts forfreakingever.

We went to Dunkin' Donuts because it's National Coffee Day. Didn't cost me anything but cost DGD because instead of the free coffee, she and DD just had to have an apple fritter and a donut. DGD paid.

That's one thing I look for in the thrift store is good, new condition, good quality dish towels.
I have some hand embroidered ones from MIL that are old. They're put away.

When we live in Rhode Island 1970s and 80s we would often include Kay Dee kitchen towels in gift packages. They were linen and precious. I still have a couple and I understand they are still in business.
 
No I don't buy much online. The concern over credit card number theft causes me to be very wary. So I usually limit it to some guitar strings. Recent Purchases? Well, I had to buy a fifteen foot long electrical extension cord after the apartment complex maintenance ruined an electrical outlet.
