15 Frugal Kitchen Habits Black Grandmothers Used That Still Work Today

My grandmother kept one coffee can on the back of her stove for thirty years. It replaced a nine-dollar bottle of oil, a five-dollar stick of butter, and every bouillon cube in the store. These are fifteen kitchen habits Black grandmothers ran on — the grease jar, the bean bag, the potlikker, the freezer bag of bones — and for every one, the exact product the food industry invented to sell that habit back to you at four to twelve times the cost. Number fifteen isn't a recipe. It's a test you run on your own trash can, and it's worth about $2,400 a year. Tell me in the comments: what did your grandmother keep in her kitchen that would make a health inspector nervous — and worked anyway? Half of what I know came from that comment section. #FrugalLiving #SoulFood #SaveMoney #OldSchool #KitchenTips
