Is a Penny Saved a Penny Earned?

Robe 003 Today, I washed and fixed this robe.

Robe 002 The fixing was darning this hole in the right elbow, and trimming off some long threads.  Because I saw the price listed as $69 for a similar robe, I saved a few dollars, and did not have to spend this much right now!

Therefore, a few dollars saved May be $69 not spent right now.
