I am learning loads as a member of MSE... who knew an integrated sandblaster existed!!DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

I’ll share my day in a bit, but for now, we have something of a moral quandary ….
After I got back this morning, at some point …. someone unknown has hiabbed two tonne bags of firewood and a small bag of kindling bits onto our drive, in front of the wood shed. There is no paperwork with them and it is not our usual supplier (he tips rather than supplies in bags).
What on earth can I do about it?!KKAs at 16.07.26:
