Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it’s already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

Oh definitely. It wasn’t that long ago there were some pretty hard times here. The older generation remembers.

All of us who are old enough to have grown up around depression era survivors in the United States are familiar with that too.

My grandma is over 100 and still licks the plate clean after eating. Things like that get ingrained with you

My mom was born during the Great Depression and re-uses ziplock bags. On the other hand, she insists on brand-name everything instead of generics or store brands, so it’s not purely about frugality.

Yeah but name brands mean you buy it once and it doesn’t fail as often, is the argument for that I get from those of that generation.

And I mean I get it. Buy a cheap pair of shoes or a good pair and you will realize you will go through 3 of the cheap pairs at half price compared to buying 1 good pair.

Though less so with each passing year since name brands are designed to fail now too.
