I'm somewhere in the middle ...don't keep a lot of scraps anymore, but I love scrap quilts. I give leftover scraps to GS troops, bee or Senior center. I will buy fabric with no immediate project in mind. If I like it, I buy it ! May not see it again !
I keep a full pantry & staples but we don't like to buy meat to freeze it. DH doesn't like frozen food, he had enough when the kids schedules had us all running. Now they're off in college/out, we eat more cooked meals. I still look for quick recipes and we eat leftovers. Less cooking time is more quilting time ! :)
