My gramma had coffee can on the counter top for bacon grease, made fried potatoes and onions or fried chicken with it
And gravy for biscuits
My grandmother had a set of matching tins for the kitchen counter that were labeled by their manufacturer "flour" "sugar" and "grease." People were expected to save their drippings at one time. In WWII they even had food drives where people were urged to donate their drippings to be sent off to places where cooking grease was unavailable.
Actually, they collected drippings to be used to make explosives, not for people with a grease shortage.
Grand Father made biscuits and gravy with the bacon grease...UMMMMM...ON A COLD MORNING...WOWZA...
NOTE: my late father ALWAYS said that he would die of a heart attack...HE DID!!!
Well fact-checkers, I've done both, and not because my grandmother did, just because it's common fucking sense.
Maybe they latched onto the concept that in the depression era they were using tin foil before aluminum foil replaced it.
"There is no evidence that people ever saved aluminum foil or bacon grease."
Literally everyone I know does that, whether they have money or not.
Still save the bacon grease.
It's very common for chefs to reserve bacon fat, duck fat and beef tallow for a wide variety of cooking processes.
my mother and grandmother did.....
Ditto.
My grandmother and my mother always kept baking grease.
If your IQ is over 25, you can't be a fact checker!
I didn't know that they allowed double digits!

My grandmother saved Christmas present wrapping from year to year
And for wrapping birthday presents for us kids, my grandmother used the Sunday funny papers.
And saved every bow off every Christmas present, those got reused for years.
rendered bacon grease is a wonderful alternative to butter or olive oil for some dishes. I cook all my game meats in it.
Jeesh, I still do both!
better fact check the fact checkers...
I still save my drippings and broths and my Momma did wash foil and I would but aluminum foil is such a waste I rerely use it.
My mother taught me that 70 years ago. smart people still do it.
I could go to my mothers house and find all the evidence you need that people save bacon grease — and beef tallow.
Ok, I get it that I'm older than most of you here, but I have saved bacon grease my entire life as well as re-use tin foil.
Why in the actual fuck would one NOT do this? Why would you dispose of perfectly reusable items besides being a waterhead?
realize that the fact checkers are a generation who willingly pay $1,500 for a tracking device, I mean phone...
I have my mother's bacon grease Pyrex jar, which was a matched set with her stove top salt and pepper shakers. She didn't save aluminum foil unless it was perfectly clean, in which she folded it carefully and put it in a drawer. She also saved Wonder Bread bags and about a million plastic butter dishes after butter and margarine started coming in those. Because that worked just as well as that expensive Tupperware.
Wonder bread bags also are great for putting over your socks to keep your feet dry...
anyone else remember when veggie people were outraged because they found out McDonalds put "meat essence" in/on their fries?
Like horseshit they didn't. My wife has it ingrained into her to do exactly that.
I still save bacon grease! Not tin foil yet.....
I do both of those things now! I wash baggies too.
Apparently, the fact-checkers never met my grandmother. Not only did she save aluminum foil and bacon grease, but plastic and paper bags, too.
