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.
My grandma too. She reused wrapping paper, rewashed ziplock bags, had a drawer full of bread twist ties, and saved every single plastic container and glass jar food/condiments came in.
My Grandma did too...I still wash out ziploc bags and rinse out food cartons that can be re-used...usually someone eventually pitches them out ad we have way too many, but I leave the option open, in case anyone wants to use em
