Our Two Wisest Purchases – Multitasker and Unitasker
I always like to reflect on things we have bought over the years and think if they were worth buying. Luckily my wife has gotten into the purging mood, so we have made several donation trips to Goodwill lately.
I wanted to highlight two purchases that I think were exceptionally smart.
Multitasking card table
We bought this standard folding table
- Dining table – Now we have a nice wooden table and chairs, but the folding table was our main dining table for a couple years. Not the fanciest arrangement, but it worked.
- Homework table – While my wife was working on her second degree (interior design), the folding table served as an extension to her desk.
- Craft table – My wife regularly uses the table for craft projects.
- Desk – Right now the folding table is the desk in my home office.
Unitasker hair clippers
One thing I love about Unclutterer is their Unitasker Wednesday posts. These posts highlight ridiculous things that we purchase that are intended for only one purpose. But Unclutterer is clear that unitaskers aren’t always bad.
My simple hair clipper kit
How many items have you purchased that gave you a 10X return on your investment? Probably not many. If you’re looking to cut your own hair, I recommend a kit like the Wahl 79900 Clip-N-Trim
What about you?
Have you made any good purchases like this? A small investment can sometimes be really smart. It just depends on what you buy.

Three cheers to the clipper. I bought a clipper set it’s a WAHL. It is a decent set and cost about R350. Now in South Africa a average haircut costs about R80, so you see it pays for itself quite quickly.
Another area it saves money for me is on leg waxing. I play alot of sport including rugby and you get alot of grazes so it is best to keep your leg hair short for better healing. I tried shaving but suffered from in grown hairs then I tried waxing which was better but became expensive. So now I use the clipper, it is not the closet shave in the world but it’s pretty good.

@Ryan – I’m glad to hear that your WAHL hair clipper is saving you money. But I don’t think I’ll be joining you in shaving my legs. I know it’s popular among many cyclists, but I just haven’t seen the need….yet.
