[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm opposite you on clothes, OP. I wear and use things until they fall apart. DH just picked up my nail clipper and asked how old it was, because he claimed it looked worn. I got it around 12 or 13. He went to Target that week and got me a new one. I'm 46. He also nearly fell over when he found out my lip balms were about 5 or 6 years old. He bought me four new ones on that same Target trip and threw out my old ones. I only JUST last year got rid of the last of the white socks I had for gym in high school. I'm 47. When I finish a tissue box, I then use the box for trash before throwing it out. Still quite frugal, still take excellent care of everything I have because I appreciate everything I have so much. [/quote]

I didn’t grow up poor but I don’t replace things that still work just b/c they’re old (nail clipper). And, I would never throw away lip balm unless it was all used up. Lip balm doesn’t expire LOL. I still have one sweater from HS because it’s good quality and fits.[/quote]
