    Darning!

    When I take off my boots at work, I like them to see how frugal I’ve been, so I always use contrasting coloured yarn to patch my socks.

    Careful Philip someone will see your darned socks with the contrasting colors and start a huge business taking new socks and adding some colored threads to them then market them just like the ripped jeans they will make millions possibly billions off of them.
    I used to have to sit and darn my socks in the Army because there was no quartermaster supply near to get replacements
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Lol x 3,literally. Good boots and darned socks way better than darned boots, no matter how good the socks are.
    I demonstrate frugality city wide; when they see what I drive. At the secondhand store.
    Yet, just can't find a good scrap yard
