Add to that:

Flour came in 80 lb cloth bags, which were re-used for everything from sacks to mattress covers and pillow cases.

When you cooked a goose, you could save the goose grease in bottles and used it for light duty oil. The down feathers went into the pillow cases.

Old shirts, skirts, etc. were cut up and re-sewn into quilts.

The list goes on.
