An old New England bit of wisdom and an apt one, at that. <br>

Great comment Phantom Blooper, I am always amazed at what we here in the US throw away?! &nbsp;I have seen trucks filled to the top with 2nd hand clothes going to Mexico while I've been on the road!&nbsp;<div>-AK&nbsp;</div>

I&nbsp;am a firm believer in mending and repairing and using something until it is worn out.<br><br>If clothes are serviceable I will donate them<br><br>If they are not.....they are turned into rags...char cloth...or cut the legs off...sew up one end....fold over the open end about an inch....attach a cord....and make ditty bags or sacks for possibles or gear......make quilts...or rag rugs....<br><br>If it's cheaper to repair than replace.....fix it up....&nbsp;in my opine....<br><br><br><br>

I applaud your efforts... Admittedly I could be doing more...<br>

<P>@Phantom, Ever been involved in the shining times?</P>

I do make use of things until their very last possible use...but this is more out of thriftyness than pure altruism.&nbsp;
