I love those little, tiny jelly jars. They're perfect for when there's just enough left-over dip or salsa for a work snack the next day.

I've always done this. There's always a couple of days of whatever trapped inside!

Stunning

This is totally normal to me

We do this too! Same with other plastic bags, we also use those to line trashcans.

Yup. I've used the same blow dryer for twenty-odd years. Still has teeth marks in the cord from the dear family dog that passed away in 2009. Dryer still works just fine.

I will never understand the Stanley cup thing. It's a biga** thermos. What s the big deal?

I got my tv in about 2009! Still runs perfectly but my dad thought it was too small so we use a larger one in the lounge room (though not too large, because the gap in my tv cabinet is not that big). I don't think I've ever bought new tech unless they old one had broken.

One in one out and thrift. It's actually really convenient. You drop off your donations, then shop.

I have sometimes used an empty bread bag as my lunch bag. But... how big is OPs lunch to have it in a shopping bag!?!

You can buy good quality once; or buy cheap and replace often. Sam Vimes said this MUCH better!

I have been using the same towels for at least 10 years. The end edges on some of them are frayed but still usable. I had to replace some of my wash cloths because of getting worn down beyond being usable.

I have multiple, because they were gifts, but like candles, I don't use them much. I mostly kept the ones I did (donated a few others) because I collect bottles and these look nice. One though I love because it reminds me of being a teenager (I got it for my 14th birthday).

If they stretch out toss them in a bowl with boiling water. Ta daa! They go back to normal size/stretchiness.

Or if you buy/are gifted a product with nice packaging, reusing the packaging! My sponge dish thing is an old hummus container, but it was ceramic and if you think I'm chucking that out?

A makeup bag is any bag with makeup in it. Just as a diaper bag is any bag with diapers in. A lunch bag is any bag with lunch in.

I had to get a new phone a few months ago in part because my battery wasn't holding a charge. Probably lasted me at least 5 years, maybe longer.

If you use cloth instead of paper towels for all the things you'd use a paper towel for, I should think you'd spend more money on laundry than you would for a big pack of paper towels (which you can get relatively inexpensively).

Five years? I have jeans three times that old. Take care of well made clothes and they last. Buying clothing because it's trendy is gross consumerism at its worst.

I have had the same kitchen table over 25 years.

Wait... isn't this normal?

Someone put a dining table out for the bin men, so we rescued it. Fits the space and vibe perfectly and extends with two extra leaves if necessary

Wow, you win. I ❤️ purses 👛 👜

It's a good one! Why change it.

My nonna had hers for 60+ years, the only thing that needed mending was the handle (which my nonno fixed with wire and solder). Mine is going on 15 years.

Depending on the issues probably could of bought a couple cheap hinges! Do like the way it looks tho'

That looks so comfy!

I have some dragon fruit skin I am planning on using to dye clothes.

Lol 26🤣🤣🤣

Except that's fabric, not yarn. BP error?

An oldie, but a goodie!

I'm a little afraid of your foundation. Looks a little scary to me.

You must have other bottles of lotion too????? 1 16 OZ bottle, every day, whole body, for 2 years, not possible 🧐

5 years?! Lol, that's laughable! That was just yesterday! I've got socks older than that!

Why is this underconsumption?

I live in England, so I need a coat for when it’s mild and wet, one for when it’s cold and wet, and one for when it’s just cold (not really, it’s always cold *and* wet)

I'm not flexible enough to do all my own waxing...

Is it just me, or are there only 3 walls to that box?

What's all the other stuff?

Or you could make your own cold brew instead of buying a bottle. It's not difficult.
