[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s a generational thing. My in-laws are the same age and well off, but they do similar things like take ketchup packets and sugar packets home or fib on my kids’ ages by 1 year to get a free or discounted event entrance. People in their 60s and 70s were raised by parents who lived through the depression. My MIL will spend 30 minutes darning my son’s Target cotton socks. I can understand darning a pair of smart wool ski socks, but these are 8pr for $5 cotton socks that we use for cleaning rags or save up for textile recycling. [/quote]
