I hate wasting things. When I look at all of the things I hoard, I fear I might be a bit too extreme in my saving, but I always think I might use them again, and we do have a lot of storage space.
During the winter we have to deal with a lot of ice on our sidewalk and driveway. I buy lava grit to spread on the icy sidewalk to prevent slipping on the ice. When the ice melts away in the spring, the grit is still there, and so I sweep it up and save it to reuse next winter. I think I am probably the only one in the world that saves grit. I bet everyone else just sweeps it away, but I can’t help but save it, because I know it can be used again.
My parents taught us kids not to waste, and that was one lesson I learned very well, maybe a bit too well.
