This is great advice and well written. I often think an item will be done for when it stops working, but it turns out, often things are fixable. Is it just me or has the quality in clothes gone down dramatically? I feel like I'm mending or repairing holes or seams all of the time anymore. But, when I'm done, I'm always glad I just saved a trip to the store. Not just to save money, but to actually avoid being at, say, Walmart! That's a win!
Clothing quality has definitely gone down! I have pieces from 15 years ago that are still holding up far better than more recent ones. At this point, when I have to replace something, I'm buying what I can from Thrift stores because I have a much higher chance of getting something that will actually last (or at the very least, cost less)
