why soak the almonds? Just as effective eaten raw,

Like 18 ❤ Very beautiful and delicious look ❤

This was a great video, however, there is one tip that cost me a lot of money at the dentist, I used baking soda with water to clean my teeth, it was a disaster , it cost me lots of pain and $$$$ at the dentist!

Yes. I was taught many if these hacks as a child. Thanks for new ones.

My grandfather always talked about eating bacon grease sandwiches when he was a kid during the Depression.

Grannies would not have used a paper towel, which is a waste of money and an environmental no-no. They would have used a cloth which can be washed.

Well I must be your grandma's age because I've been using them for probably 50 years.

Just a note about eggshells. I never compost eggshells as they are as they don't break down like most other things you'd compost, and you don't unlock their nutrients that way. If you really want the beneficial nutrients from eggshells for your plants, you need to grind them up into powder in a coffee grinder (I bought a cheap one I use solely for that, saving up the shells from boiled eggs and grinding them when I have a decent amount, then storing the powder in a jar for when I need it). Then you can put this powder into the compost or even directly into or on the soil around plants, which makes it readily available to the microbes in the soil. If you apply that eggshell power to plants though, be very careful how much you use as it's a potent fertilizer, especially if you've already given the plant a general slow-release fertilizer. One teaspoon per average-sized plant is more than enough. You can also use the water left from boiling eggs (cooled, of course) to water plants, as it contains many nutrients in it too. Other things I avoid composting are avocado seeds and peel, and seeds from stone fruits and mangos. All of these things do decompose but tend to take far longer than almost anything else you compost, which then becomes a pain when you have to sift them out. Only thing that outlasts them is egg shells - I've found them still not decomposed in soil 10+ years later. No joke.

Gram made bread with gravy. Still a treat. And creamette noodles with milk. Grampa splurged on creampuffs sometimes, but the kids didn't get any.. just him and Gram and that was alright. Aunt was horrified Sis and I ate two porkchops each. Her kids were supposed to fil lup on chips first and eat only one. No chips at home. 1940s.

Nobody has to pretend their pantry is bare. Not about to catch squirrels or chipmunks for stew, but sliced onion sandwich sounds crunchie and good. Its more than 2 pcs toast. I'd try that for supper. Lots of "weeds" are nutritious and taste good plain in salad or in soup. Many apple trees go to waste. Ask the owner to let you pick the falls.

BOTH my parents lived through both world wars AND the depression. Their stories of survival would make a Netflix series.....We got it good.😊😊

My father had a biscuit and shortening for breakfast very often.

Wasn’t around for the depression,but there where 8 of us lot of mouths to feed I Remember my Ma making potato pancakes yummy still eat them today.Also fried bologna sandwiches very good.And I’m 71And have never tasted stew like my Ma made.We didn’t have much but we were blessed always had food on the table maybe not steak but good filling food.Thank yo God for your blessing and for the greatest parents.

Yeah, they should bring back those affordability and reliability features, those were really great!

My daddy ate cornbread or biscuits and collard greens - something easy and cheap to grow in FL in poor times. He caught fish too. He was already primed for depression era meals and my mother was a really good cook so the depression meals may have felt more elegant, relatively speaking. Gardens helped everyone. Also, owning a cow or chickens was a real bonus you could have if you lived in the country. Big cities, I don't know what they did. We are getting closer to repeating this all the time, btw.

I would love this channel if it didn’t have an AI narrator

This channel deserves so much more views…

I still like deviled ham

I'm 40, a child of the 80's... even my Mom found most of these dishes as nasty, and I would not touch over 3/4 of these dishes, even today. Mayonaissse is nasty, and slathering it on everything ruins every dish entirely. A SMALL amount of mayonnaise is fine, with other flavors, but mayonnaise used to hide bad flavors just makes the whole dish worse.

So weird that people don't eat these anymore. We literally have at least one of these each week in my house. Green bean casserole is the only thing we don't eat very often.

I LOVE gelatin salads! But only the vegetable kind. I've never been a fan of fruit salads that had marshmallows.

We still love Sloppy Joes in my house.

I would not save by growing vegetables. By the time I bought pots of varying sizes, potting soil, fertilizer, stakes, insect netting, watering can.........I bought just a couple of houseplants and was surprised how much it all was costing me to get in to plants. And it mildly terrified me seeing someone open the back of a microwave. They are not to be service by anyone but a professional. And it was still PLUGGED IN!!!

Have you seen the price of olive oil lately? It's a luxury item, no frugality there.

I see nothing wrong with limiting alcohol sales on Sunday. Not a big deal.

I hadn't heard of several of these, but the chicken Waldorf salad sandwich does sound good.

The only one familiar to me is spam and eggs.

My mom's family would eat anything they could put their hands on. In winter, there was a rabbit if you were lucky. And in the summer groundhog. One winter, they only had rutabaga with salt.... morning, noon, and night. That was it. Nothing else. I've been to all you can eat buffet where teenagers leave plates half eaten then go for more. And the parents making the excuse to the waiters "don't be mad at them, they don't like it." WTH?

What about squirrel, possum, raccoon & fish stew? Chicken was a luxury. Cornbread was the same. My grandparents had 13 kids. No money. When Grandma passed away there were over 100 canning jars in the basement. Her children bought her a washing machine. She thought it was a god awful pile of junk. Those clothes ain't clean. She was pissed off. She used it 1 time. Called it junk. The washing machine was never used again. She ran her arm through the squzee winger, up to her elbow of the old washer at least a dozen times. I feel so weak next to her. Bed bugs I thought was a joke. Nope!

Until 5he late 1970s my grandparents would scour empty fields for dandelions that had not produced flowers. Then prepare them with salt garlic olive oil and home made red wine vinegar(a byproduct of the years winemaking). I can still taste that salad.

My parents were depression era kids. They were fortunate as the grew up on farms thus food was plentiful. My grandpa grew a field of potatoes so town folk could come out and help themselves.

My grandfather would eat ham fat sandwiches. Grandma would boil a ham then trim off the fat put it between slices of homemade bread. He'd add some freshly grated horseradish also.

👍

For the watch

If we are not careful, we may see another Depression.

My mom used to make fried bologna sandwiches..yum!

cornmeal mush. And parents went without eating so children could eat. Fathers were gone for years trying to get work. Depressing, sad, and worrisome. Don't romanticize it.

My father grew up in the great depression,his mother would make him guddy, when he was small,it was bread that was chopped up and put into tea, that was it ,he loved it ,and even ate it up to the day he passed, love and miss you daddy❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Laws left over from years even decades before , and not enforced everywhere

I would’ve starved to death and died in the depression.

I love this, it's bringing back great memories of my Grandma's kitchen. I spent a lot of time in that kitchen and ate milk toast often. She used a pinch of salt instead of sugar. I love it to this day. Funny how depression food is such a treat to me.

Love this. My Mama grew up during the depression. Her Mama had a garden and shared them to any one that came by. Her name was Liily Pearl Butler. Love that name. Beautiful Lady.

The butter, lard, sugar and flour are now things we can’t afford. I make a dish called top Ramen. One package for 2 people I cut up a leaf or two of cabbage and boil it with the seasoning package and a lot of water if I have any carrots or other cheep vegetables I try to add them. I also boil one egg in the water after about 7 to 8 minutes fish out the egg and peel it. I then add the egg back and turn off the heat place the noodles in the pot and let it cook in the hot then I divide the noodles and vegetables up place the broth over it and I cut the egg in half and place one half on each bowl. I call it my rent is 75% of my income I wash my clothes in the bathtub, the power bill is up again and gas is killing me inflation stew

I made that mock apple pie once and it was just like eating an apple pie! It looked like apples, had the mouth feel of cooked sliced apples and because of the spices tasted like apple pie.

It's called being poor in the projects and growing up on welfare😮😢😅

There are so many apple trees where the apples go to waste. Why would anyone make apples out of ritz crackers.

gopher stew doesn't sound all that bad...the lil' buggers eat primarily vegetation.

Stone soup!

My Dad use to tell us he would as a teen go fishing . Whatever he caught was what my grandmother would fry up. Also bacon grease on a stale biscuit for breakfast or lunch

My grandfather said he ate mustard sandwiches. He told me I don't know what it is to be hungry.
