I do tend to buy most of the things I still have to buy, when they're on sale but there are so many "instead of" options that I'd like to learn. To keep my smaller cutting mats in place, I bought those sticky shelf liners that are sold in the dollar stores and cut it to fit my mat and placed it underneath. I also use those silica bags you find in new purses in my bin of safety pins to keep them from rusting. I've been making a list of these tricks to pass them on to my Sis.
