25 Soul Food Tricks My Grandmother Used to Feed a Family of 7 on Almost Nothing

My grandmother fed seven children on what most people today would call almost nothing. No waste. No throwing anything away. No trips to the store for things she could make herself in ten minutes. What she had was a system. Twenty-five choices she made every week in the store, at the stove, and in the pantry that stretched every dollar into something that fed her family well. In this video: the cheap cuts nobody buys anymore, why dried beans beat canned every time, what she did with a hambone that most people throw in the trash, how she used her freezer as a second pantry, and the one pot she made every Sunday that fed her family for the rest of the week. My name is Thelma. I have been cooking for this family for fifty years. Every trick in this video still works today. Every one of them will cost you less at the checkout than what you are spending right now.
