LPT: Buying floss a few skeins at a time means you're not really spending money at all (i.imgur.com)

I was missing about 19 colours for Errol, and that's far too spicy an all-at-once purchase at UK prices.

So instead every time I'm down in town for something unrelated I just nip into the craft shop and pick up a few, thus hardly spending anything at all!

It totally saves money and I will not be taking criticism at this time.

With the steep price of $0.66 USD they cost around here I'm willing to invest in up to 15 skeins in one shopping visit. This is clearly the only reason I have not attempted any of the 80+ color 25" full coverage patterns I've found yet 😅

Ugh that's literally half the price even of our cheapest online places (but then shipping). Ugh!

I always just make do with whatever they have at the craft store. I don't have the patience to order the floss online and wait for it lol
