Long time lurker, first time poster. I have come to appreciate many aspects of this subreddit, including the many tips. Sometimes I get caught too much in stressing out about restriction as a form of frugality (and then often feel guilty even about small purchases).
What small purchase have you made recently that has brought you more joy than you expected?
A nice reminder that you can still feel good spending your hard earned money while being frugal.
Mine is kitchen tongs, which feels ridiculous to even type. I have attached a picture of my old (black) with new (red). I avoided buying one for years because I felt that I had a perfectly good one (that I didn't use because it was so flimsy and just used a spatula instead). I finally bit the bullet and got one. Wow! Who knew $10 tongs could make me so happy. I use it almost daily and can't imagine my life with it.
Tell me yours!
