I was having this conversation with a friend and we both got some useful ideas from each other (cancelling various underused subscription services, making use of libraries, more home vege gardening etc) - curious to know what else people are trying.

I personally enjoy doing DIY projects, and it’s got the added benefit of (hopefully!) saving money compared to buying off the shelf.

Got some plans to spruce up a little outside canopy area at our place, and am planning to make some DIY furniture for it. It’s great in that you still sort of get what you wanted, but at a cheaper cost, and you get to enjoy making it too.

Well it’s not always cheaper, but it’s a great excuse to learn something new and buy new tools to play with :)

Shhhh… We try and keep that part a secret haha.

I debate whether the finished project is better, or the new tools :)
