Now that I am starting over for the first time in over 10 years my mind my mind is focusing more an more on what I want for my new kitchen. I am done with buying cheap things and just making due with them. My parents invested in a very nice and pretty expensive set of pots about 15 years ago and they are still in fantastic condition. It makes me think of my dinky set that I just got rid of that I had for only three years and it was already on its last leg. So how much money did I really save by buying a cheap set only to have it need to be replaced in three years? It seems like such a common problem that we get ourselves into when we buy cheap on the front end but end up paying more on the back end because we are constantly needing to fix or buy replacements. I know why it is, it is because when it comes time to need to buy those new pans or that knife set it is hardly ever during a time that we are sitting in an abundance of money. But the thought has challenged me to try and think differently. Can I make small sacrifices in other areas to save up the money? Can I start off small and prioritize my purchases and fill my kitchen with nice things? It is a challenge, especially with a new baby on the way. But a challenge that I am going to be facing soon, whether I am ready or not.
What are tricks you have come up with to save up money to buy nicer things for your kitchen?
