Props to mom
Can’t wait to use them again in 2052!
She had to reuse the balloons due to inflation.
I *think* she could do this ~~18~~ ~~21~~ 22 more times…

Edit: added three more (2202, 2205, 2250) as pointed out below
Edit: aaand just noticed I missed 2220. Apparently, this is an oddly difficult task, at least for me.
reuse! recycle! repurpose! way to go your mom!
I did this for my kids’ birthday a couple of years ago.
My son turned 16 and we got him balloons. My daughter turned 19 three weeks later and complained we didn’t get her balloons, so I got the 16 from the attic and turned the 6 upside down 😛
Waste not want not.
I wouldn’t have noticed
That’s clever
And I didn’t notice. Cheers to mum. Happy new year!
Who the hell keeps new year balloons for 3 years?
Brilliant! 🍾
Props to her for waiting 3 years for this moment
Happy 5220 ggggggma
*and with 2052 & 2055 just around the corner*
If it works it works
Can’t wait to see this post again in 2055
I feel like this is the appropriate amount of energy for 2025.
Impressive.
Neccesity is the mother of invention ! The fathers name is frugal
5550 will probably be the last one.
r/anticonsumption would be proud
Now she has to wait till 2052 to use them again
Props to her. You will have to save it and reuse it at 2052.
you… only need to replace the last digit for an entire decade…
She’s a genius 😂
I looked at the photo first and I didn’t even notice until I read the title.
Smart and Thrifty mom
We Stan a thrifty Queen
They don’t even have to stay balloons, when they deflate adhere them to some super sturdy cardboard! Add it to the annual Christmas/Winter stash and pass them down!
Kudos to your mom. It’s not even noticeable, tbh
Eco friendly
Can’t wait for year 2250.
Why does she still have them?
Genious mom!
Smart woman
She’s also ready for several other upcoming years: 2202, 2205, 2220, 2250, 2502, 2505, 2520, 2550, 5202, 5205, 5220, 5250, 5502, 5505, 5520 and 5550.
She still had the 2022 balloons?
Frugality lends luck that lasts all year long
My dyslexia says looks normal to me. Props to mom

My mom reuses Ziploc bags *for years.*
I’m constantly reminded how people are smarter/more creative than me 😭
Showed this to my mom and she said, “Yup, that’s resourceful.”
Very inventive!!!
