My grandma's 50 cent stew starter changed how I cook...

I was at her place in Pittsburgh last fall and she pulled out a jar of her own canned tomato base she's been making since the 70s... Tossed it in a pot with some cheap veggies and it tasted better than anything I spend $20 on now, anyone else got a family trick that saves money?

That 50 cent starter sounds like pure gold honestly...

Made the same thing work for me last summer actually. Picked up a 50 cent starter pack from a garage sale and it ended up being the best money i ever spent on gardening stuff. Threw the seeds in some old pots with dirt from the backyard and they grew like crazy without me doing much of anything lol. The real trick was just leaving them outside in the sun and watering when i remembered, which wasn't always. Now i'm hooked and always checking thrift stores for random seed packs.
