    Yep my step grandmother grew up in the depression and she would buy a enough groceries to feed an army every week. Even though it was only here in the house. She had boxes of cereal from freaking 80’s on the shelf and deep freezers and I mean 2 to 3 full of meat. You didn’t her cooking it was so bad meat gone freezer rot. But she couldn’t help it. She was child during the depression she talk about it often and how bad it was.

      My grandmother also live through the depression. She would save half a cracker with some cheese on it for the next day. I don’t think I saw her waste a morsel of food in 30 years.
