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.

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
