Yeah, this is why we sometimes make big trips to thrift shops. My time is worth more than my shit. This is also why I have things piling up all over the place. I know I'm not supposed to buy more, but 4/5 things end up being useful at least for a little while. 3/5 are ONLY useful for a little while.
