It’s a whole Asian problem. My mum has her knitting/needles kept in a cookie tin. The tub of yogurt in the fridge has yesterday’s cooked Palao inside. Glass jars of empty tomato paste is now filled with chutney or toorshi (pickled vegetables). After 29 years, both mum and I discovered that we own a popcorn-maker, which was tucked away unopened in the back of the cupboard. She still insisted we keep it and I was like WTH mum, you forget it even existed, so why do you want it now?
Our local supermarket encourages recycling cans and plastic bottles, so they’ve got this machine where you recycle each can/bottle to get 10 cents in return. My house is full of hundreds of soda cans and empty water bottles in a rubbish bag. My mum takes them all to the recycling machine and gets money-worth shopping vouchers. She once got $40 worth of a supermarket voucher. Right now, due to Covid restrictions, it’s closed, so she’s been ‘hoarding’ all the cans/bottles to the point that I can see some empty water bottles chilling with the plants in my backyard right now as we speak 😐
