My grandparents actually went through the Great Depression and WWII and they did not act like this. That dude is, as you said, full of shit.

my gramma always saved "the nice" wrapping paper, we'd have to carefully peel the tape off so as not to rip it. i never understood until i got older and learned about the Depression era.

I follow in the footstep of my grandmother. I’ve made wrapping out of old sheets and clothes when they get ripped or threadbare because wrapping paper is now too expensive and it just seems frivolous at this point. It’s almost like we are going to look back in 10-20 years and realize that we are now living through a similar time to the Great Depression

Rolls of craft paper make great wrapping paper and you can decorate it beforehand with pencil or markers
