RE: Frugal Friday
Ooh, so many good things in your reply to ponder! I too wash and reuse straws, and your comment about your dad eating odd food combos reminded me of the time we cleaned out my great grandma's canned goods and my Papa ate some bear mincemeat that was canned in 1979...It was like 2013 when this happened. LOL!
I've heard stories of how awesome and yet horrible pantyhose are. Kinda glad I grew up when they weren't fashionable. Mine would have had holes in them anyway.
You are a super frugalista for sure, I will note all your waste not want not excellence for future employment in Kat life.
I could write several paragraphs about my parents' thrifty practices in assorted areas of life. They saved every but of string that entered the house (People used it when mailing packages back then), used the same tinsel year after year on the Christmas tree, and we always carefully removed wrapping paper so it could be folded and used again for many years. It was sturdier back then. We re-used ribbon and bows year after year. (I still do.) Mama cut up blank-backed junk mail to use for scratch paper ( I still do that, too.) Other things will undoubtedly pop into my mind as time passes.
