When my mother & dad moved to the farm, she packed a bunch of Tupperware in a black garbage bag and you can guess where it all ended up. Luckily I was selling at the time and could replace it all for cost. I always check the garbage before it goes out the door. I have had to go thru it too many times. Here's what I do. When I buy something like fabric or especially small stuff, I take a tote bag and put the items in it till I get home. That way I'm sure where it is. That's what you call sweating bullets. Glad you found it.
