<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 331151, member: 23"]Oh, no. My mother kept anything and everything and sentiment wasn't part of it. She was a magpie. Never wore jewelry, but couldn't resist buying a box of scrap jewelry at a yardsale for $1. My parents always either had a second hand store or did flea markets so an astounding amount of 'stuff' went through our house. She had to live in a convent school for poor kids when she was little and survived the Depression, so nothing ever got thrown away. I really have to force myself not to follow in her footsteps. She used to save the styrofoam flats from meat from the supermarket, wash them off and cover them with tinfoil and use them for picnics in the summertime. Not sure she was saving money, but she thought she was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
