Second Frugal Friday of March 2023
Fast forward to this past Christmas and everywhere I looked they were out of stock on these socks. So, Bailey taught herself how to darn and now she is darning any holes in her socks. Amazon has these in stock now, but she won’t need to replace hers for a while yet now.
