I didn’t throw away my fridge when it spoiled and I got a new one, the spoilt one was turned into a store to keep grains and spice powders. This is how I have organized the stuff. Sai’s milk powder containers for grains, Italian herb glass bottles for the dry spices, coffee powder glass bottles for spice powders, tall biscuit tins for dry beans and wider biscuit tins for medicines. All my cookware are in steel, safely reusable. I don’t have a microwave, only a convection oven for baking.

My plants get their daily bath from old plastic washing liquid containers.

I always keep a large steel kettle and a porcelain mug in office and take food in steel dabba.

Today I took the woven bag to the supermarket and when the counter lady thanked me for saying no plastic cover pls, it felt heavenly and rewarding. I realized I bought lesser stuff than I usually buy which saved me unnecessary spending too…

Ah, how can I forget this one! I don’t throw away aluminum foil that I take bread or roti in unless it tore or got stained with curry by mistake, my Paris handbag has its own secrets🙊

Now you know why I think I’m a hoarder. I’m very proud that my basic instincts drive me to reuse things.
