Janu-worry is known for stretching the budget – what, with festive spending catching up to us, along with the expected #Back2School expenditure – many might feel the need to unbutton their collared shirts a little 😅
Just because funds are tighter this time of the year doesn’t mean progress halts.
It might be better to repair instead of replace your goodies.
Not only will you be saving money, but you might also unlock a new skill or two. Not entirely sold? Here’s four reasons why DIY can be the best financial decision you make.
- Save Money, Spend Smarter
Fixing something you already own typically costs a fraction of replacing it with a new item. Why buy a whole new couch when you can just fix a broken leg with a quick drill job (cue the shameless RYOBI Drill kit 😅 - Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
When you repair instead of tossing away items with character ​😉, you’re actually doing the environment a solid. This is because less waste ends up in landfills, and you reduce the demand for the manufacturing of new items. - The Joy of Learning Something New
Fixing something yourself is immensely rewarding. Whether it’s replacing a faulty hinge, reviving a broken gadget, or patching up walls, every project teaches you new skills. - It’s As Easy As 1,2 Drill
The best part about RYOBI’s power tools is how user-friendly they are so you don’t need to be a professional, just willing to roll up your sleeves and figure it out. - Make it Personal
It’s also an opportunity to explore your creativity and offers a grand sense of renewal. Â Repairs also allow for customisation. Sanding down and repainting an old chair, could give it a fresher and more modern look more aligned with your 2025 aesthetic.
So, this January, ease into the new year (and new fiscal 😉) by picking up new skills, tackling fresh projects, and making RYOBI your new best friend.
