What do you save? is it a strange/unusual thing?

I do keep the shoesboxes and don't want to just take out the shoes and throw away the boxes, I should have more than 30 shoesboxes if I didn't move home, and now even when I buy new shoes, I am still keeping them hehe. And the other thing that I like to keep is shopping bag whatever it is paper or plastic.

I am a pack rat, it's just know dawning on me how much of a junk saver I truely am. I save boxes, bags, anything and everything that I MIGHT can use later. And though they do come in handy when I need them, I am running out of places to stash them out of view of people that come to the house. I hate having a cluttered mess some place that visitors can see, drives me nuts. I have just started to do spring cleaning, and just about everything I have saved since the last major clean, throw away day, I am pitching because I have no need for it, but when I do.. I'll know right where to find it, in the local dump and get mad as heck that I pitched it, lol.

I'm very sad to say I save nearly everything. I always think "that could be used for something". I've started "spring cleaning" and couldn't believe some of the things I've run across that I saved. Because of my health I wasn't able to do the thorough cleaning the past 2 years and there's "stuff" that I'm positively sure can be used for "something", but my house is only so big, so some if has to go!

i am the opposite of a saver. i get mad at myself but i really throw away stuff that i probably should save. if i save a box it is because i have an immediate plan for it. i grew up with pack rats that came from pack rats and although my home isn't sparse there really isn't "extra" stuff hanging around. if i don't have a plan for something it goes out. i mostly follow up on my plans.
