I collect the plastic seal-tabs that seal bags of bread, buns, muffins, etc.
I probably have about 50.
My MIL saved every ( food ) plastic container.
She had a closet-ful of margarine, sour cream, jello, etc containers.
AND ... she could never find the right lid for the right container.
We tried to clean 'em out one day, and she fought us tooth and nail.
Oh Lordie, that reminds me of my daughter. She's a hoarder and saves
everything imaginable--- ties, bottle caps, string, rubber bands,
plastic forks & spoons & knives, little packets of anything edible,
fortune cookies & the fortunes, empty tubes, cardboard, virtually
anything you can possibly imagine. I am constantly finding things
stuffed in drawers (especially plastic) or hidden away in the most
unlikely places. One day I threw out bags and bags of plastic
containers ... you know, like from sour cream, cottage cheese, etc---
and she cried. I think she's taken Martha Stewart and frugality much
too seriously! OTOH, she does often make very interesting things out of
her "collection". We have some really stunning Art Deco bird houses
that she made from... well.... trash. LOL She's been working on a wine
cork collection for several years, hoping to get enough to make a cork
bulletin board! Every now and then we have a little discussion.....
