Just saw where Mark Cuban is telling people

62. My grandmother, who would be 124 if she was alive, hoarded a lot of things because of living through

the Depression - even though because of my grandfather’s business (heating fuel) they weren’t affected nearly as much as most people.

When she died in 1972, I was with one of my Aunts when we were cleaning out her Florida house of all the extra goods she had hoarded. If something was on sale, she bought copious amounts of it. So, toilet paper must have been on sale years before and she bought 100’s of rolls. One whole closet was filled with just tp.

When we began cleaning it out the rolls’ cardboard had all disintegrated and the paper was partially disintegrated, too.

My oldest aunt followed in my grandmothers footsteps. I needed something from her pantry once and saw she had 100’s of boxes of lime green yellow and the price was $0.10/box. She also had hallways lined with tp and paper towels and basements filled with 100’s of can goods and especially bags of eggs noodles that had to be 10 years old. I decided then and there never to eat anything she made for family holiday dinners.

She also hoarded houses and when she died had 4. Her only daughter had to clean out all of them before selling them after she died. It took her 2 years.

She was a millionaire many times over. If it wasn’t on sale she wouldn’t buy it. Or pay for things like information, when that was a thing - so she had every city/towns phone book in Connecticut so she wouldn’t have to pay for information. They were stacked in piles all over her house(s).
