How far do you go with the “fix-and-repair” rather than “replace” philosophy for the little stuff?

Asked by canidmajor (21248points) January 28th, 2022

I go a little over the top at times, I must admit. Getting ready for the storm has me planning to darn socks, mend old sweatpants, patch my reusable grocery bags (really? Geez, they only cost a buck to replace!), and maybe rewire a lamp. Total cost of replacement of these things would likely be about $15 at most, but I get enormous satisfaction from fixing stuff, and I hate waste.

I’m not really talking about the bigger things, it makes good sense to fix cars and appliances, I mean the silly small things.

What about you?
