[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were poor for the first 10 years of my life, but those years had an affect on me for sure. I'm constantly fighting intrusive thoughts that we're one paycheck away from living under a bridge - could not be further from the truth but I still can't shake the notion. I hoard takeout napkins and condiments. I re-use foil when possible. I turn my ketchup bottles upside down to get the last drop.

I hate that I have such an unhealthy relationship with money. [/quote]
DH made fun of me for halving our napkins. I found it to be such a waste that we would wipe our mouths once, and throw them out.  :oops:

I also have a big tupperware full of takeout ketchup packets.[/quote]

I cut them in 1/2 too and use 1 a day not 1 per meal.[/quote]

Oh man, you would hate me. I accidentally grabbed two today for lunch and ended up throwing them both away (I used them both on accident so even though I guess the bottom one maybe wasn't dirty, it was all crumpled up). I am actually pretty strict about recycling/reusing most things, too.[/quote]

Select a size paper towels changed my life.[/quote]

I even tear those in 1/2.[/quote]
