Costco October: 5 Foods My Grandmother Stretched for Weeks

My grandmother never walked into a store looking for a sale. She was looking for food that would stretch, keep, and cost next to nothing per serving once it was all said and done. This October I took her same three questions into Costco and filled a cart with five everyday foods, plus the exact habits she used to turn each one into weeks of meals instead of days. There's a kitchen lesson from a boarding house cook named Mrs. Pauline along the way, and a warning about one pantry staple that can make you sick if you handle it wrong. What's one food your family always made stretch? Tell me in the comments. I'd like to hear it.
