Was born afterworld War II. Not much was available due the Country being destroyed. I grew up being frugal . I used it throughout my life and it paid off

Crush clam shells to feed your chickens; you'll get tougher egg shells(from the calcium). (A very freshly-laid egg has a soft shell, till it cools). *I make face cloths from cut old towels. And wipe rags for grease etc from old socks

I had to laugh at the tomato soup hack. My dad would do that...he loved it. It wouldn't be as frugal these days.

It would be cheaper to buy tomato soup or tinned tomatoes rather than ketchup.

Great ideas! I already do most of them and it has really helped my budget.

[sherry-yqht]

[Pollydoidle]

I like these hacks but I think you should have told us what pine trees were are good for tea

[susandianasmith]

Everyone knows tomato soup is equal parts tomato sauce and milk with basil.

[tirnwiy]

Recent studies have shown that pine needles store PFAS chemicals, so maybe skip the pine needle tea. Probably tastes terrible anyway.

As a grandma all of these seem pretty ridiculous and wasteful😮
