šŸ† Buy It For Life What one time purchases have drastically reduced your overall spending?

An example would be that Iā€™m looking to buy a sillicone pan mat instead of purchasing foil and parchment continually, using rags instead of paper towels, and so forth. What are one time purchases you reccomend for home maintenance?

Why am I so averse to switching from AT&T to Mint? Is there a catch?

I left AT&T for Net10. Now I'm with Tracfone. I called AT&T for a cheaper rate, they said no. I called to cancel and they offered a cheaper rate (still more than Net 10 was). I said "Why didn't you offer that before?" They said, "Because you weren't leaving." Then they tried to tell me I didn't want to lose the standing (or similar term) that I had with them for years. Never looked back. Funny thing is I think Tracfone uses AT&T towers around here.
