What is a frugal practice that you learned from your parents/grandparents that you still practice today?
I watched my grandma practice so many money saving skills that she learned going through the depression. At the time, I thought that some of the ways were extreme or didn’t fit my throw it out and buy new lifestyle. Now as I have gotten older, some of those practices don’t seem so bad as I am trying to save money and prepare for retirement. When my grandparents died, I found so many things that she saved in case she would use them again, but not to the point of hoarding. I found so many purses that she saved even the ones that were wore out. I have started practicing looking at purses, clothing and shoes to see if I could recycle them by refurbishing them. Also, she wouldn’t buy a new piece of furniture until the old one was beyond repair and she saved up the money to buy a new one. I am practicing that now. Also, she would buy or grow certain fruits and vegetables while in season and prepare them to freeze or can them. I do try to but extra fruits and vegetables when in season and freeze them. Other things that she would do was using beyond clean water to wash dishes and using country crock containers to store leftovers. I always use clean water for dishes and used to use all kinds of plastic containers to store food but have changed to using bpa free containers to store food. What are some of the frugal practices that your parents/grandparents did that you do or do not use today?
