I've enjoyed this discussion and have learned some good tips for reusing AF. I don't use it often either, but I do save it to sharpen scissors. But now I'll also wrap my celery in it and use it in the dryer. I also save see-thru small containers for holding thread, buttons, and other little sewing tools and keep ties and rubber bands. I don't craft very much, but I have friends who do, so I'll sometimes save stuff for them. I do like to reuse when I can. But I don't have enough storage space to save like our parents did.
