[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last thing, I had never seen anyone store food in a cold garage until I got married. When MIL walked out with a pan of leftover turkey and put it on a cloth that was on the car hood, it blew my mind. And I don't care how cold it was, it bothered me that our food was sitting out in the garage with the cars and the lawn chemicals and boxes of books and broken garden tools.[/quote]

NOT BOXES OF BOOKS!!!!!  The horror.[/quote]

boxes of books smell so musty though. esp stored outdoors

Like many have shared, my in-laws also have no garbage cans in any room except the kitchen. The kitchen garbage can is tiny--like a 5 gallon plastic bucket stored under the sink and lined with old plastic grocery store shopping bags.

Now, FIL never gets the plastic bags at the grocery store to take home his purchases; he uses reusable grocery bags--which he will not lend out to others--so we, of course, end up spending 10 cents a bag for the plastic grocery bags at the store because who brings reusable grocery bags with them while traveling?

Picture this, we are unpacking the groceries we bought in the kitchen. I turn around for a moment and poof! the plastic grocery bags are gone. FIL scoops up all our plastic grocery bags for his cache in the garage, while telling us what spendthrifts/environmental disasters we are to pay for plastic shopping bags at the store. Sigh.
