[QUOTE="spiney, post: 243745, member: 192438"] Interesting! During World War 2 there was "make do and mend" - and before that the big depression - and many people of my parents' generation would very carefully join the old sliver of soap onto the new bar, re-use uneaten food, darn socks, etc. As well as collect and hoard things, just in case they might be useful one day. Who still does that? Now we just throw stuff away, especially since we're influenced by tv shows which advise exactly this. I re-use my old underpants as rags ......
