My grandparents refused to throw anything away

Odd stuff can be really cool. I kept of my grandmothers a jar of old odd mismatched buttons. I keep it on a shelf.

That was the mentality of many who lived through the Great Depression. Don’t throw anything away;it will be needed one day

My grandparents have a lot of stuff in their house, but they didn't seem to have a problem giving it away, at least to family. When I was a kid if I liked something around their house my grandpa would be like "take it!". I don't think my parents liked that very much--I ended up with a lot of weird stuff that way. Lol.

Maybe some of the "junk" is worth some money.


I'm kind of interest in knowing how fast they were going to get the speeding tickets.

The kids of the great depression (or even the kids of those that loved through the great depression) kept a ton as it was a way of life.to survive

You have speed demon blood in you

You're lucky they didn’t throw anything away or they woulda sold you back to the gypsies.

You`re lucky. Most of my grandparents stuff was thrown away.
