My aunt is the thriftiest person I have ever known. She will do just about anything to save a penny. For example, she never throws away old socks, she uses them as dust rags. Instead of using a sandwich bag once and disposing of it, she wash and it. When she receives a gift, she carefully unwraps it without tearing the wrapping paper. She’ll use that paper to wrap next gift she gives. Her old milk cartons become bird feeders. Her tin cans become flowerpots. Plastic bags from the grocery store becomes liners for her wastebaskets. When her family’s blue jeans are too worn out to where, she recycles them into cozy quilts for the beds. She really is a model of thriftiness.
