We lived in a pretty normal house in the suburbs of Vancouver, CA. - except for the masses of stuff. He never really did anything with the stuff, just collected it and brought more and more home. She has three full size deep freezers and two large fridges. They are all crammed full with food bargains. She also stockpiles food in all kinds of places.
Every closet has food in it.
Most of the clothes do not fit them anymore. She even buys costumes for Hallowe'en and baby clothes for any potential grandchildren. There are two people living in the house, my mum and my dad, no children. Anyway, I never realized that there were other people living similar lives. I thought it was an eccentricity, always embarrassed to invite people over to our house.
