Reading this board can be expensive!
 

I read here frequently and often, thoroughly enjoy. All too often I'll read comments to threads and they'll be a discussion of a product I didn't even know I needed.

A recent thread on cutting mats took me to a site where there were mats on sale...had to have just that one! Well, I really did need a new mat :)

Luckily most of the time I can use restraint and not purchase everything I look at.

Yes, I know what you mean. I have bought several products that I learned about here on the board. All to help us do a better job. Now if I could just stay away from the online quilt shops!

The Board has also helped me not purchase things that others have bought and found they didnt work. :)

What gets me most often is someone posts a note about some terrific fabric sale. I tend to rationalize some spending on new gadgets with how much I have saved by learning about repurposing or upcycling things on the board..... That works doesn't it???:rolleyes:

I feel the same way, I have gotten an itch to buy any old sewing machine I can find. If I pass one up I get withdrawal symptoms, LOL!!!

Absolutely! After all, don't "they" always say: "THE MORE YOU BUY, THE MORE YOU SAVE!"

"They" do, but in response to the statement that there is a 50% off sale, my father always said, "I know how I can save 100%."

It is tempting, I admit!!!!

All the above comments apply to me too. I've learned so much from the threads on this board .... and I've found some that didn't work out also - at least for me. It makes me feel normal to know that others have some of the same difficulties that I have, things that others do with ease.

a very wise father!!!!!!:D
