Washing and reusing anything glass? Eating food way after the expiration date? How did having a depression-era person in your family or life inform the way you see today.
The people that lived through that era are nearly gone. Have we learned anything from them? Big or little?

Don't waste things if they can be reused for something else.

"Use your best first" my grandmother taught me. Whether it was potatoes, clothing, tools, china or a quilt, it didn't matter. If you use the best thing you have first, once it's used up then the next one you have will be the best. It was a way to find joy and gratitude in tough times.

My grandma did and dad would aways say when I was cutting an onion and tear off the first layer of skin your grandma would have a fit if she seen you do that an even he would say it was a waste. They where very much saw food as very important. They tryed to keep it or have you eat it because when they where little day to day they never knew when they would eat. So they tryed to live like that Incase times got bad

I learned how to make do with very little, how to repair clothes, buy things that will last, save things that are useful, and to be generous. Just to name a few.
