For me, it's my jeans. I have one pair I thrifted. They have holes right next to the crotch area, on both sides. But I'm planning on using a pair I found outside to patch them up, instead of getting a new pair. Most people would just buy another. I see the life that Is still in them. Little sew, little patch, all fixed and ready for another year!
What do you refuse to replace because you can repair it/don't see the need?
What is something you own you refuse to replace, even though you probably should?

Purse. The stitching is torn in multiple places but it still does its job. Must be 7 years old by now.
Old t-shirts I sleep in. They’re covered in paint, wholes, and the graphics have worn off but there’s nothing as comfortable as an oversized shirt you’ve slept in for a decade.

My wallet i got in HS/Middle school that’s got about 1/3 of the fake leather shit peeling away/missing. Looks ratty as hell lmao. I’ve had two replacements bought for me as gifts and I just can’t bring myself to switch over lol.

Used jeans so worn they have holes in the crotch that you plan to repair with others you found on the ground?
That’s beyond frugal, just kinda gross.
