About This Blog

Some of the best kitchen and household tips were published during World War II when recycling & rationing was vital not only for the nation's economy, but necessary for the survival of each family.

Some of these tips were handed-down from grandma, but were often they were dismissed as cute anecdotes, stories of 'hard times and hard work' which were not necessary in times of prosperity and a plethora of modern conveniences.

As a result, many of these kitchen and household tips have been lost to history -- unless you collect vintage magazines.

There, in the yellowing brittle pages, you'll find a slew of household tips that are amazingly still practical today.
