My mother, who has a love of plastic food storage tubs that borders on a fetish, has thrown out all but perhaps 10 of said containers!!
This has apparently been prompted by dad's nagging.
Nonetheless, when one of my main childhood memories has been of mum putting all leftover food (even single potates) into tubs "to have in a sandwich tomorrow", seeing her part with such an enormous part of her life is incredibly weird. She intends to get some new ones in. In some ways, I have an urge to buy her a multi-pack of good quality storage tubs as a birthday present or something.
The tubs are just so much her trademark...
On the plus side, she's let me claim some of the ones she was scrapping, so hooray for that!
