Mom pulls in six figures from her investments, but, goddamnit, we have a kitchen draw full of swiped restaurant sugar packets because "you never know".

And another full of restaurant mints.

...and a cup in the fridge full of fast food ketchup and mustard packets...

And holy shit, our plasticware collection has to be seen to be believed!!

AND THE NAPKINS. The ancient napkin collection! You can stack those fuckers two feet high, and it's still ripping them into quarters as needed.

The cupboard with a big stack of throw-away pie tins... admittedly, these are super handy to bake little things in, but still. We don't need two dozen slowly corroding throw-away pie tins from grocery store pies past.

She has tons of these "I grew up on rations surrounded by bomb craters" low key hoarding habits.

This sounds like my grandparents. My grandmother had amassed quite the washed-out peanut butter jar collection by the time they decided to downsize and move into an apartment. Frugality is nice, but when you're clearly not actually re-using the things you save, it's just stuff taking up space.
