Save a few cents

So, I recently made a discovery. You know those felt thingeys that you put on the bottom of your chairs?

Yeah, those.
Well mine have a tendency to get really dirty, really fast. Like so dirty that you can't move the chairs cause they are sticking to the floor. Anyway, we have to replace them often. The other day I needed replacements and I had this ingenious idea.

The felt tabs are pretty thick and I discovered you can cut them in half and they still work. So now I am getting twice the usage for my money.

You can use this idea too. You're welcome. :) You'll be saving literally ones of dollars!

Just for the record, I am cheap, yes. But not pointlessly so. I prefer to save my money on the dumb stuff so I can spend it on cool things, like this:

We used to have a plain wall on our landing. Now we have these great bookshelves for bedtime reading. Yay!! I think it was worth all the felt trimming and other assorted weird, cheap stuff I have tried.
