Never underestimate the mental illness factor. I agree with other posters who discuss the hoarding issues that are at work, here.

If I can’t use it (or share it), what’s the point?

My hoarding in-laws have crapola, including food, from decades ago. God forbid you try to toss it. Last time I did, I got chewed out. I mean, someone is going to use the Slim-Fast powdered drink from 1984, right? “It’s still good!”, is the constant refrain from in-laws.

The joke in my house is that my H doesn’t understand when it’s time to throw away food because he never learned it when he was growing up. This generally results in eating that turkey that is out of date or something that is off. We all know stomach bugs aren’t fun. I guess that Maalox might come in handy in these situations!
