Of course it is a generalisation from what I see on the internet. I'm sure there are people in Europe who throw away everything and people in the States who recycle or reuse.

They do it out of habit. When you come from meager backgrounds, as most of us have, you learn to reuse and repurpose everything. Back then, they couldn't buy new things when their belongings broke. They had to either fix it, or repurposed it. Everything is made so cheaply that we are able to throw things away and buy new ones. We have become wasteful and materialistic in these times we live in.

For my mom it is not about being able to buy, it's a conscious decision to not let anything go to waste. And it is about sustainability for her. The amount of plastic local supermarkets produce is astounding. In Ukraine you generate about a third of plastic waste compared to Spain, living roughly the same lifestyle.

The nutbutter jars are for dry baking goods because they have a wide mouth and measurement cups fit. I de-label them and make em pretty. You CAN spraypaint the lids if you want to get super fancy.

Let her know those things will sell online these days! Many folks love that type of thing but do not know how to make it themselves or know anyone to make them. I have so many jars that I often crochet or macrame on them to make them look pretty. I started out doing it to make a couple of hanging candle holders, then on to making the storage jars on the shelves look a little more coordinated. Someone visited and loved the look but did not have the skills nor the inclination to learn them. She offered to buy them, and I periodically sell at farmers markets and craft fairs as well as online once in awhile. She could find herself making a load of money on the side to do something fun with. 😉

@shelleysmith4017

@@shellyb7726 what a great idea! I have made a tea cozy using a pillow stuffing after I had laundered it. It was just to flat for sleeping in but was perfect for studding a tea cozy. When my favorite sweater finally began showing wear in the collar and sleeves, I pulled all the stitching out and used that to knit up a tea cozy outer. Now I reuse the yarn from my old sweaters or from charity shops if I like the color or thickness of the yarn. I like to recycle and reuse where I can. My mother always told me to worry about the pennies and the dollars would look after themselves. It was a necessity when I was growing up, 2 adults and 6 kids. But learning frugalness early on meant we were not only able to buy our second and final home, our dream home, with 3 acres of land on a Loch in Scotland, but we also did it without a mortgage, despite the pandemic causing house prices to jump. If my Mom were still alive I would move her over to Scotland where winters are warmer than northern Vermont and would thank her repeatedly for teaching me such useful skills…as a child I hated it and was embarrassed by much of it if friends came by, but as an adult, I am proud and grateful. Having land to grow our own food, I am looking forward to retirement to live up there permanently and sell the first house we bought when we got married. I was a teen in the 80’s, I remember how big and solid those shoulder pads were! 😂🤣 I can just imagine the intriguing shape! But they were so solid too I bet that tea cosy kept that tea lovely and hot for ages!

Your mom is like my Haitian mom lol. I buy more than $100 worth of jars to make my house organized and my husband laughs at me "why are you buying something that comes in a jar to put it in another jar" 🙃 😑

I remember one time my brother wanted to grab some popcorn out of a popcorn bowl from the cinema but he didn’t know that our hispanic family ate all of the leftovers the day before so he grabbed into a mango juice that my grandma put into the bowl

Compost scraps in the freezer, genius idea!! Our city adopted green waste disposal, but I couldn't deal with the insects and smell until now, thanks for sharing this tip!

I grew up that way. Norwegian Mom. They went thru the Depression, but were so poor it wasn't much different. My Grandmother came over when she was 16. I love canning once in my peanut butter jars. There is still enough sealant in those lids.

The jar hack is actually quite funny. My mom actually bought me those milk flavouring things for kids so that she could get the jar to make and store pickles

My mom (not Asian) did all of these...except the pot thermos. We still put our food garbage in the freezer to this day....we also sometimes use the citrus peels for the small garbages, bedrooms, and closets with cloves etc., and we us them to clean the sink.

My mom does things that are sustainable because they just make life easier and I love that. She's not trying to be sustainable and different or trendy. She just does what's best for her and her wallet

Same here. My mom grew up just after great recession. She re-used EVERYTHING. My dad fixed EVERYTHING instead of throwing it out.

I love this! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I just recently started saving all my glass jars- they really do come in handy! All my saved plastic container w/ lids get reused to send food to others. Ive been practicing my sewing by hand too- So far I hv mended a coat, a sweater, a blanket and a backpack. I also stretch my food in many ways for 3/4/5 days worth of meals. My mom & aunts say I’m turning into my Nanny 😂 She was the youngest child of 18. Yes 18! She was taught how to stretch a dollar. 😉 I definitely have saved some money, that adds up at the end of the month. Everything is so expensive lately- especially food! So I’m learning how to plan a garden for springtime- can’t wait! 😊

The citrus fruit peels as scrub brush are a great idea. The acidity that is naturally in there helps break down organic matter. Definitely gonna try that one.

I have that pot thermos too! Lol I actually got it from my uncle, after I helped him move his stuff. He's from Hong Kong, and most of his cutlery or kitchen wear; are things that most people in the US wouldn't know about. I actually had to look up what some of the dishes were for or how to use them.
