"Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!"

-a Depression-era slogan, a recipe for cognitive dissonance during the season.

Slogan I have taken to heart, especially in our use-it-once-and-throw-it-away consumer culture. I mend, repair, patch, and repurpose all the time, not just because I'm frugal, but because the thought of just throwing it away and buying a new one sickens me.
