Right now Im using it for weaving notes and drafts, and I don't call that hoarding, I call that recycling. (so there)<br /><br />As to those store bags, some stores will take them back. They also retain heat, and if you have cats or dogs, they make wonderful cushions for them. I use old pillow cases for the outer covering. <br /><br />They also are amazing as spot insulation if you have a drafty place along the wall. Regular fiberglass insulation works, but not in an old house. It's made for modern houses with 16" centers.

I gotta give Mrs.C some props here for being thrifty, Joe :) <br /><br />FYI, when I moved into my new apartment a couple years ago and got one of those mini-trashcans to put under the kitchen sink, I discovered that the plastic bags from the supermarket are a perfect fit. In 3 years I've somehow wound up with 10,000 of them stuffed into a giant hefty bag in my front closet, I can't bring myself to toss 'em so I know how your wife feels :)ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-71110670226282598712020-02-10T17:44:38.593-05:002020-02-10T17:44:38.593-05:00I save a lot of stuff, but I don't save paper ...I save a lot of stuff, but I don't save paper :) <br />You two are funny.<br />rRick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-50758287508055078982020-02-10T17:07:07.272-05:002020-02-10T17:07:07.272-05:00Well, in her defense, I have a box of paper from m...Well, in her defense, I have a box of paper from my kids' high school and college days that I use to print unimportant stuff.

I "fear" going back to work and him being home during the day alone. I used to be able to get the mail when I was home and go through it and dispose of unnecessary stuff before he got home. Now I'm imagining stacks of it around the house. It is hard to be a minimalist married to a borderline hoarder. That could be a reality show.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-1670868522658734202020-02-10T15:20:02.639-05:002020-02-10T15:20:02.639-05:00Hoarding is like collecting.

I lived near a golf course and I used to pick up and collect any lost golf balls I found as I walked home. I stopped when I saw a sign saying: Any Persons Caught Collecting Golf Balls Will Be Prosecuted and Have Their Balls Removed. <br /><br />Be careful JoeH.
