this is so important and i never thought of using this logic in all areas of my life me and my mom are both very crafty and frugal and both have adhd  and she would always say not to waste money on some things because we could make it ourselves way cheaper- true but i rarely ended up with all the things i needed to complete it or too much time would pass and i just didnt even want to expend the energy i still think that about a lot of things now but i know my limits better so now its easier just to pay more for the convenience and me not having to get all the supplies and wait to actually trying to recreate something  this has made me reevaluate how i grocery shop thank you for posting this
