I learned how to repair my own car. He’s saved us a lot of money by being able to repair so many things on his own, by building and repurposing furniture pieces, and by making gifts that we did not have to buy. These two questions go together for me) I love the furniture rehabbing posts, Thankful Thursday, and WIS-WWA.

We have significant food restrictions so sourcing our own is helpful health-wise & cost-effective too. Two “small” ones come to mind- my first car & first motorcycle-owned for a while, did a few small repairs & sold for what I paid. We have several food intolerances/needs so cooking is just mostly easier/cheaper.
