My mother could not stop buying food. She had several freezers and a full refrigerator and ate out a lot, yet continued to buy stuff. When she went into a nursing home, we had to clean out the freezers and refrigerators. We found a lot of expired food. Expired is a kind word. Some of the meat packs were so bad we had no idea what they originally were. I don't remember how many hours I spent scrubbing the freezers and refrigerator just to get them into condition so we could give them away because of the stains from the old food.

Not as bad. My mother passed in 2011. We found laundry products that were labeled $.15. Yep that old. And yes she kept buying more.

$ .15 impressive, but easier to clean up after than old meat packages leaking blood into a freezer. Did you know that when hamburger fossilizes it turns white.

I have seen both happen. But the $.15 is, I think, something I have never seen, and I am old, and aging fast! I have seen Rinso Blue with towels as gifts inside, or Dreft with a water glass, I think. Remember when gas stations gave those kinds of premiums and green stamps besides? Got a lot of good stuff with the green stamps-even went to the S&H Green Stamp redemption center in Azusa, CA I think it was-husband was on business trip there-luggage extras were free on airlines back then- a LOOOOONG time ago.

In the early 1960s My family was living in a housing project in a big city. We had German Cock Roaches because the row houses were built on former horse stables. They did not bother us. When you are a child it is amazing what you can get used to.

If memory serves me, there were two kinds of green stamps my Mother had books for. Merchants Green Stamps ans S&H Green Stamps. My Mom shopped for used clothes for us at the Salvation Army Store, the Salvo to us, and John's Bargain Store.

My wife grew up as an only child. Spoiled rotten. I often tell her that if she had been one of our litter mates, she would have been one of the weak ones who didn't make it.

Thankfully I did not know that. And yes laundry and cleaning products are easier to deal with than fossilized meat. Whew

The bad thing was, my Mom kept buying food. She was never going to eat it. People would call me up and say " do you know how bad your Mom is getting? " " Uh yes. " I consulted a lawyer to see how to get her declared incompetent. It was more time and trouble than I was prepared for. Then she fell, broke her arm, went into the hospital, they wanted to send her home, and my wife did some fast talking and eventually she ended up in different nursing homes. After that the fossilized meat packages were comic relief and the least of my problems.
