Did Your Grandma Save Tin Foil?

Sometimes I will post a short entry like this one because I would like to have a question answered.  I am in the process of asking my grandparents these very same questions, but I like to compare and contrast their answers with the stories you share.  So it is time for another What Would Grandma Do? question.

My grandparents saved everything out of necessity.  I do not have to.  At this point, I have the privilege of choosing to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

On Monday, I took on the Grandma Challenge of using all-natural bar soap because it helps me reduce my use of packaging along with a few chemicals I think I am better off without.

Today, I tried to wash a piece of tin foil so I could reuse it.  I do not think it is going to make it past a second use.  Either modern tin foil is too flimsy to reuse or I need to buy some heavy duty foil.  Perhaps I simply need to live without it.

What did your grandparents save for reuse?  What do you save for reuse today?
