I'm 61 and my grandma who lived through the depression showed us the sandwich they ate all the time. Butter 2 slices of bread and add tomatoes and onions. That's it and it is wonderful! I ate these all the time growing up.
My mom made us fried onion sandwiches. She would toast bread, spread catsup and pickle relish on it then top with the fried onions. I really liked them.
Momma ate onion sandwiches, and gave the six of us the bologna for ours. Daddy got the rest of the meat for his work lunch. I never realized she was sacrificing for us.
I’m 62. I relate to much of this content. Keep up the frugal Friday! I grew up on Mayo from the cupboard not the fridge lol. TV dinners never happened. SOS from jarred beef was a treat.
I remember having empty jelly jars for drinking glasses, as kids in the 50s and 60s.
Me too!!!
Let’s get frugal is my favorite Lindy. Thank you..
You notice such important facts about shopping. I love your frugal Friday. Ideas and stories. Thanks for posting. 🤗🤗
I’m 62 years old and what you’re teaching people now is what they taught us when I was in junior high school. This is so helpful to people. They should be teaching this in school but they stopped doing this a long time ago.
Hi Lindy: Such great ideas and examples of frugal shopping. A great additional benefit to cooking your own food ahead of time is you are not only saving money but controlling what is in the food you eat. Take care!
I remember sharing the same studio apartment with my cousin when we just out of college. Ketchup on toast was all we could afford. we made it and thought we were richer than anyone just because we could live in an apartment without our parents. Who knew that was considered poor!! We laughed all the time. Walked to work. When we went back home we brought our laundry because at my parents house it didn't cost money to do laundry. I remember my dad leaving extra bottle of shampoo in the bathrrom. we used to take it home with us and were thrilled to have free sauve shampoo!!! Then when the 5 cent deposit cans were a new thing, we were the first to think of making money by collecting the cans! That was not what poor people did, it was what we did for a free bacon and egg breakfast out at a restaurant..... living it up at a restaurant ! We were young and having fun. ..laughing it up.... I wish you many adventures with a friend to figure out how you can make ends meet and big laughs along the way..... what about teaching a class for others? You are a treasure.
My grandmother had a big deep freeze in her cellar. She would put leftovers (vegtables mostly) into the freezer in a bowl. Once frozen it was put into a recycled bread bag & labeled. When company showed up unexpectedly -she would grab several bread bags & make soup! Always delicious 😋
Good pointers Lindy. I did that for freezer meals before I had my C-section in 1991, so I wouldn't have to try to cook when I got home.
Hi Martna hope all is well with you dear. 🙏
Been noticing the savings are not what they used to be myself!! I shop and compare! As for paper, I'm a paper towel person myself when I'm on the road too!! But my down fall is I like bounty Paper towels!! And I have a 2 coffee mugs, 1 for coffee and the other water/soda!! And I have always had a bunch of different dry beans, and mix my own for soup!! And my garden is growing larger as I've learned to do canning!! And canning veggies and making jams!! But I need to slow down on the jams as there is only 2 of us and the friends I gave a some to don't give back the jars and rings and that is adding up fast now!! Stay safe, and thrifty!! Love it!!
The same syrup you looked at, here in North Georgia, is $2.36 a 24 oz. bottle! And that was at your Walmart? That is crazy! It's more than double the price where you are at compared to here.
I remember pimento cheese and using the jar as a glass. lol…
Show me your ways, o'wise one! I'm 49 and will continue passing it on.
They are still my juice glasses. I have others but like these the best.
I can remember getting the TV dinners,we thought it was fantastic. Especially when they started adding the little dessert 😊
Well I'm 62 years old and I remember growing up. one of my favorite things was my mom would buy TV dinners And we would eat them on TV trays. And I actually have some vintage TV trays that we use on occasion and we would watch a TV show. I wish they would go back to those metal trays. I love them but everybody uses the microwave now. Great information. I'm at Walmart almost everyday and I only look at the price. I never looked to the right side to see how much each item comes out to. Thank you very much
I buy very little processed food. Mainly canned beans, olives, tuna and condiments. I make all my meals mainly from scratch. I calculated the 216 count bags and I got 7¢ a bag. My mom used to make fried onion sandwiches. She would fry the onion until soft and a bit brown. Then she toasted the bread, spread catsup and sweet pickle relish on it then added the fried onions. It tasted like a hamburger without the hamburger.
Great tip.
I have been making large meals and splitting up in portions for my elderly moms freezer. So it’s a quick easy meal when she wants something good to eat. She has pretty much quit preparing meals for herself.
I actually eat more veggies and more variety of veggies when I get TV dinners. Plus I eat less because they are portion control
Yes, Please more lessons on being frugal!
I do love a fresh tomato and mayo sandwich! It's especially delicious with a little bit of dijon mustard! 🍅 Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
Sounds great!
When the kids were little (1960-70) one time I decided to cook for 2 weeks and package everything up and freeze it. Well the cooking went fine. I labeled all the meals and prepared to put them in the freezer. As they sat on the counter i suddenly felt like I was dying and trying to get the family through the first couple of weeks without me. Made me feel so morose that I never did it again. LOL
I never liked pimento cheese as a child. I haven’t tried it as an adult. My siblings and I always felt it was a treat when we got to have TV dinners or pot pies. The best treat was when Mom went to McDonald’s and brought home dinner. For our family of six, it cost less than $5.
I love your videos Ms. Lindy! I wish I had someone like you as a neighbor to talk with. You always have such neat ideas.
Thank you so much!
I hated those TV dinners, they always tasted like metal! 😂
I enjoy your depression era tips. Keep them coming. It’s getting harder and harder to buy both food and medicine living on a fixed income
I love veggies sandwiches cucumbers, bell pepper, onion pickles (if you like them) very thin sliced carrots, avocado , tomatoes. Anything can go on bread. Add mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup what ever you like. A sandwich doesn’t require meat.
Yes, it's difficult everywhere, but the location one lives plays a part. I live in Eugene, Or., and I opened my Walmart app to check prices...the same syrup here is $2.57, wipes were also $3.48. I love checking out things like this. Have a blessed day. LUCRETIA 🎉
Thanks for sharing!!
I'm interested in simple depression era meals. I have my faves but sometimes I get bored making same things over & over. For lunch Mom used to eat mayo & onion sandwichs, and stewed tomatoes which was cooked tomatoes & dried bread. I love stewed tomatoes still
Thank you Lindy!❤
Oh, I remember ALL that, Lindy! My daughter once said I have "depression era mentality", even though I wasn't born yet, lol. But, that's how frugal I am...I waste nothing! Too much food gets wasted, and people all around are starving, not to mention the grocery prices now. Yikes! Thanks so much for all your great tips and advice. Stay safe and well. Rosemarie ❤️
Amen!
I always compare pricing, but there are some things I only buy a certain brand. My mom loved onion sandwiches with mayo. Use to eat lettuce sandwiches or tomato sandwichws with lots of mayo. Mom would buy the big roll of bologna for us kids since we liked it thick.
I'm always looking at the price per ounce. Lol. It's nice when you can find your favorite foods on sale. That's when you stock up. 👍
Marley!
Yes. I never thought of that. I use those Talenti sorbet containers but Im going to buy the one uou mentioned.
I'm 62, retired and happy. I'm learning so much from you. Before calculators, my Mom would take us to the store, give us pencils and paper and had us figuring unit cost pricing (didn't learn the name until much later). We learned at her side how to find a real bargain. My advice for the coming economic crisis is to pay off as much debt as you can -get debt free if possible. You'll be grateful later. Can't afford to "prep?" Easy- starting today, add 1 can/1 box/1 bag of shelf stable food to your grocery list. Keep this in the back of the pantry labeled with the date. Do this every grocery trip- the dates help you to use the oldest stuff while it's still good. Watch youtube about repacking things for long term storage. That'll give you a good start.
Enjoying your videos...with price of gros,every little bit helps :-)
Brown sauce sandwiches. .I don’t known if you have beef dripping in America. Great on toast or sandwich with a bit off salt. . And you can also do great chips with it . Me and my husband were talking this morning our mums never had a fridge we had a pantry with a slab of marble. That get butter cool and cheese . We didn’t do big shops my dad grew the veg in our garden we went rabbit hunting . We had cheap cuts of meat and fish on a Saturday. We never went hungry.
Thanks liddy for your tips, Your very much appreciated
My husband would LOVE some of that Kraft pimento cheese. We can't buy it anymore here in Texas.
Good ideas.
Love your frugal videos!
I make my own TV dinners. So much better, less expensive and better than the store bought ones. ❤️
Hi Lindy, OMgosh! I thought my grandmother came up with the idea of using those aluminum TV dinner dishes for her leftovers. Ha! I loved going to the big chest freezer in the garage to pick out a foil covered tray with beige masking tape and hand written ingredient list on it. I don't know if you can still find them. With the invention of Tupperwear it seemed like they sorta dissapeared. We started putting all the potatoes, dressing and turkey into seperate containers. With masking tape labels. I love your show!
Love your stories❤❤❤
Thank you😊
Interesting topic! 🙂🐞👍
I go to Dollar Store, not Dollar Family, to get a lot of basics that you don't need a ton of. Pickles, chips, soups, sauces, bread, butter...you can find for 1.25 (went up since covid that .25). Sam's Club is good if you can store bulk. Goodwill is also a great place to pick up cheap t shirts, shorts, blouses, silverware and plates and pans.. It all adds up to savings compared to "grocery" store prices.
Mix Ketchup, mayo & sweet relish is thousand island dressing.
Love watching your pointers. We ate fried potato and mustard sandwiches and also ate pinto bean sandwiches.
Thank you keep teaching people how to do this love you
My mom canned all our food I still do better for you
Thank you, I will
Yes I canned my food when I was married. Too difficult in a van
Growing up we would have cucumber or tomato sandwiches . We would toast the bread and add mayo it was so good especially when we grew our own tomato and cucumber. Still eat enjoy them today
@caroltardif5999 Still love and eat tomato and/or cucumber sandwiches to this day!
At Thanksgiving mom and I would take some of the leftovers and make TV dinners. You could have a nice selection from the different things that were served. I know it sounds weird, but peanut butter and either sweet pickle or dill pickle make a good sandwich, The sweet, salty or sour salty make a good combo. You can also buy several different kinds of beans in the 1# bags and mix them in jars. It tends to be cheaper in the long run. I had leftover cooked broccoli the other day, so I cubed and cooked a potato, cooked a small amount of rice, saved some of the potato water and added more water, added thyme, garlic, and processed cheese, then chopped the broccoli fine and added it. Very good soup. Have a great day, Lindy. Hugs to Marley!✌🤟
Sounds like a great soup.
Keep up the good work
Yes, very important subject now.
You can make any type of video, and I will watch them because this is my way of helping support you. ❤
Thank you woke girl
Thank you!😊
Yes great pointers Lindy love Getting Frugal 💞
I love onion sandwiches! Onion , tomato sandwich! Yep Ouckle Sandwiches yum 🙂
Great show. You know the glass jars you were showing there was another one had chip beef in man that stuff is so good. My grandmother fried it then made the best gravy with it put over toast wow great. 😊
That's SOS.
I've also found tags wrong in grocery and dept. stores. Interesting video.
Love all frugal tips
Hey lindy your teaching me how to budget with food your one sharp cookie keep safe!❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you Lindy ❤
Yes, please do more of these videos on stretching a dollar. I find them helpful.
Potato chips , butter and mustard sandwiches 😂
I make that homemade!
This was a good video!!!! I have to also say..... don't eat out....or cut it down. I treated myself to an egg sandwich, 2 donuts and coffee at Dunkin donuts...and was mad at myself....Over $13😁😁. I could have bought the eggs, muffins etc for sooooo much less. Yes a quick convenience....but no more. (Anne Marie)
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks!
Thank you for your super thanks support LINDY
Pickles are expensive now, the same with olives.
I buy 42 rools of toilet paper at Sam's Club for 22.98. You can't really do that living tiny but it saves a whole lot of money. I buy their paper towels and over the counter meds. We're an hour away now in NM from Sam's. I pay for the plus membership and non perishable items ship for free. That saves $. Then we go there for some food items, which are cheaper like unsweetened bottled tea, lamb loin chops enough for me & hubby for 2 meals (9.99), and I got a 12 oz pk of raspberries for 1.87. I buy their kielbasa, half & half & butter there as well because it's so much cheaper.
Thank you for your videos.
P.S. i just looked at the pickles and green olives at sams and they are cheap!!! I'll havd to get them there too.
I think Lindy has a storage unit, so she could store her nonperishables there and get what she needed when she needed them.
@@gary-rr7jpoh that's right. Ty
I love this video.
I’m getting hungry reading everybody’s comments about frugal tips!!!!!!!
Hi Lindy. Interesting here in Australia we dont do pounds its labeled kilos or grams ,1 pound is roughly 500 grams. Example around 500 grams for block of butter is between 5 to 6 dollars. 1 kilo of chicken breast around 10 dollars kilo, thats the cheapest price in supermarkets. Im lucky i dont have a sweet tooth the prices of biscuits etc are very expensive i would make my own if i had a craving for some. I dont have a hig appitite anymore , love my eggs cheap souce of protein. I love parlsey, mayonnaise egg sandwiches yummy
👍👍👍
I like it!
We eat left overs 1 adddiional day, then I freeze the rest of the leftovers.
Later, I have fast food in my freezer! Just thaw, heat and eat!
Has anyone else noticed how the mayo you get nowadays is no longer what we used to get which was 'thick n creamy'? Now it's been whipped so much it's light n airy n running once you take the air out when you spread it. It's the brand's way to make it look like you are getting the same amount when you are not. This was Hellman's. I also noticed this in Sam's nut butters like cashew butter. Once you stuck your knife in it it deflates. They not only upped the price but tricked us into thinking we were getting the same amount 😡
If you went shopping with me I would show you how to save more, lol. My grandma went through the depression and I am very frugal.
Make your own laundry soap. Use a dryer ball. Shop at dollar tree and Aldi. Reuse jars to can food. Get meat from a farm. (Of course I don't live in a van, but a trailer)
My mom would always say you are actually just paying for the packaging.
🙂👍
I make 10 burritos at a time n freeze my own.
Siiced onion and black pepper in sandwich is what we ate some time s
I love glass it's way better
Stop up on tuna when it goes on sale for sandwiches
It's amazing how expensive things have become 😑
Hi , what about " "elderly orphans"(older people ,live alone with no relationship and thay dont have children or dont have support of familiy..." ? 🙂 "12% people over 50y are in that population there, and that number are become bigger over time" ,some women on yt say in her video... I wach her video and I get interested about that topic 🙂😁🙂🤷🏻♂️🦔🐩 becouse we all get older , over time...🙂🤷🏻♂️🦔 Im not in your country, but that topic is universal. 🙂
So what do you use to wipe yourself after going to the bathroom?
Why do you want to know such an intimate detail. Particularly on a public forum.
@@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428 I asked because you said in your video that you don’t buy toilet paper or anything paper except paper towels, so that’s why I ask.
Living in my van, I normally use toilet paper and since you don’t I’m wondering what else would you use?
@deedeeotero4475 DeeDee I told how in my previous video. Wipes they keep me cleaner than toilet paper and multi purpose. Toilet paper has only one purpose.
@@l.a.v.alindysawesomevanadv3428 wipes.. ok.
I would go broke if I used wipes since they cost more than the $1.25 Dollar Tree TP & since I’m pretty “regular” as they say..but different strokes.😂
@@deedeeotero4475 actually they r nit that expensive when you buy in bulk and at Walmart I will do a cost for you . When I used Dollar store toilet paper I went thru 2 -3 rolls a week. My wipes last a month. You're right though different strokes. We all do it our way.
