I certainly remember as a kid that recycling pop bottles for our parents was a source of pocket money for we kids, that we covered our school books with paper bag covers, and used those brown grocery bags under the sink for garbage bags. We used waxed paper to carry sandwiches in paper bags for school lunch. In parochial school we bought a few shirts and uniforms every fall which saved on clothing and were worn in part to diminish class background advantages and even the playing field. We had more largesse than our depression era parents, but they never let us forget it. My folks were in a position to pay cash for everything and did.
