Grandma's Greener Than You Are
Jump to Comments
Your grandmother–or my mother–is/was likely greener and more frugal than you/I could ever be. And that was the topic of Laura Vanderkam’s op-ed in yesterday’s USA Today, which happens to quote me and mentions the frugality with which I was brought up. Hey, ma, how you like them apples?
Congrats on the mention! I have to say, all my grandparents fit this to a T – I remember my mom’s mom, who would stay with us for several weeks at a time, gathering up soap bits to make a new bar, and saving everything in sight. The same was true with my grandparents on my dad’s side. A lot of collected wisdom to tap into there.
