Great Depression Survival Tips 

I bet she would 🥰 she was wise and magnificent beyond her considerable years

I was watching her videos a few years ago when I discovered this channel. I’m so glad I came back and saw this. Between her and my MIL. Wonderful women and I have acquired great advice.

AS W no she’s not....

@@rebeccatatum7692 gosh you're right. :(

True

Yep because we are going into another depression but not a big one

Oh, just plain common sense.

@caleb yes sadly

BME Studios I’ve heard it’s going to be bigger.

Big time. She brings joy even in tuff times

She would ne happy and want us to be.

That’s why I came to her vids; her words are wise in today’s times!

Me to.

She would be calm and make a meal! Just love watching her. I aspire to have her grace

msubasii omg me too!

Amen you gave us an open window to your comment! God is the gift of life😇😇take care ok

Hallelujah.. my mom was born in 1925.. and her mom my Wonderful Gramma in 1901.. they went through the Depression.. I still remember the stories They told of RECIEVING tickets to buy only a certain amount of flour.. Sugar.. salt etc.. I was born at the end of 1945... I too seen some ruff times Growing up.. food.. clothes shoes...etc.. we were poor..we got Meat for dinner ONLY ON SUNDAY.. Unless my stepdad killed wild game and brought it to her.. rabbit.. Squirrel's.. frog's ( for frog legs). Eel.. fish.. pheasant.. Deer... So because of our Garden ..& neighbors my mom put 3 meals aday on the table.. we wasted nothing.. left overs were heated up and a new item added to make a new meal.. and you ate what was cooked.. what you put on your plate.. if you didn't eat it.. your plate went in the refrigerator for the next day for you to eat... Like I said we were poor..we wasted nothing... .. my mom's Old Clothes became my new clothes and my old clothes became my sister's new clothes.. my Mom even used her old clothes to make shirts for my brother.... ..

@@nancysparks8168 That is all so true. She reminds me of my Mother and her growing up during the Depression. They never wasted any food. Clothes were worn over and over. And patched. When they absolutely couldn't be worn any more, they were used for cleaning rags. Bless this lovely lady and her Grandson who taped her, and is now reposting the videos.

Did she really say that?

@@gabrielkawa3477 yes. Its on the tomato sauce episode

@David Bock. Crying, too! What a sweet soul, Clara...she is missed!

I just about did, too! This channel is just one of those you’ll never forget

ME TOO 😥

Same!

Me too 😢 So happy to see her again 😁

Beautiful thought! I can see her now!

Real Nice thought you have a good heart

I’m expecting a baked apple myself

@@deletedleaf2688 😂

Johnny, if Ms. Clara isn't at the Pearly Gates, I don't want to be there myself.

SomeInterestingName - both of those are EXCELLENT ideas!

SomeInterestingName LMAO

lmao

Same bro

Having visited Montana, I was impressed by your spirit. I've no doubt you're thriving through this!

Much like my family. Done well during the depression. So well that apparently they didn't even know there was one until they went to school and saw how the other kids were....

My grandpa would be 101 this year. He grew up on a farm in Kansas and used to say that the depression didn't change his life much but he knew it would have been catastrophic for his family had they lived in the city and had lost their jobs.

Yes I've helped take care of many people who grew up on farms in the Depression, and they were self sufficient and hardly noticed there was a Depression

@@catchinghorses You

And out of the blue. I've never searched for this or any similar topic on youtube. When it showed up I thought maybe google tracked my search for cottonseed oil on Google Scholar. Otherwise ?

RU-vid: y’all gonna need this info for the second great depression bout to happen

Could be the tags on this video

Kayla 01 it’s a one week old video

The video is a week old

It is great she is immortalized online, to help us. Over a year ago, my grandmother passed at almost 101 years. The Great Depression was hard, we can learn a lot from how people did then.

We are going to need these tips in the coming days. She has given a great gift and the legacy of a hero.

KarmicVibez wonderful lady. Thank you for sharing her wisdom with us. Thank you and may she Rest In Peace. 🌲🌝☘️

She was blessed not poor

@@kathiewarren2825 relax woman, i was calling my self poor. is y this video caught my eye.

That's so lovely

I loved Dandelion salad. I was introduced to it by my depression era grandparents (I am 63). Their entire back yard was a garden, the lawn part was dandelions. Today we kill them as weeds. Olive Oil, Vinegar, Salt, Pepper was all you needed. You could get away with just Olive Oil as a dressing.

@@charles-y2z6c what's Dandelion salad ?

@@charles-y2z6c VERY GOOD for cleaning your liver ; )

@@eyeYQ2 Don't forget tasty too. Lots of flavor, sure beats iceberg lettuce

Oh, how I wish heaven existed for the sake of people like her

c l just accept Christ into your heart, trust in him and you’re saved. His yolk is easy and his burden is light

@c l He already has, his arms are open. Now you just need to forgive yourself

c l He will forgive all of us if we believe in Him. He payed it all and we just need to be thankful:)

Her wisdom will live on. 😢

Heathercliff .....Amen, it’s how I live !!

Beautifully put. Brought tears to my eyes ❤️

You're a good example to the younger members of your family. I wish you success with your garden, God bless.

Thanks and that's real important for you...keep up your good job ❤

bonsaipal Thank you :)

You feel like you actually lost your own grandmother!

I found her in 2015 a few months too late. Broke my heart, I had binged all the recommended videos before I checked her channel. Really did feel like losing a grandma.

Yes me too just know shes a sweet lady to help us

Sushiplug I did the same thing and this video also brought me to tears

still crying right now. using up all my stockpiled tissues.

I love the sound of her voice. It reminds me of how my grandmother spoke. :) crackling old flame speaking in a cold dark night.

Her voice still is comforting even though she is no longer Here.

Claire had that soothing calm in her voice and sweet demeanor. I could listen to her talk forever. I watch her cooking videos mostly to hear her stories and her cute remarks!😁 What a lovely treasure was Miss Claire.💟

Me too!

And beyond!

We will all get through this. But this time is definitely showing us how comfortable life has become. How unused to dealing with real hardship. And that’s just in general. Obviously that does not apply to everyone, everywhere.

stop trying to get likes. that's pathetic you know. well maybe you don't know..

Im here because there's barely any food in all of our local grocery stores

Boris Sheen but they aren’t trying for likes

Amen

I watch her all the time cuz she is just like my grandmas too. I try to cook like her but I'm not that creative. I should have been paying more attention to my grandmother

Amen!

I remember my grandparents telling me that too. We were the lucky ones to have these beautiful & wise people in our lives. 🙏❤

So true, I hope all this what’s going on makes people more appreciative. Years ago they didn’t have the technology that we have, when they were separated they couldn’t just pick up the phone next to them . At least we can FaceTime and talk on the phone to our loved ones. I hope it makes people stronger and makes them not depend on takeaways and learn how to cook ect.

God bless her soul, your gran was a wise woman

Absolutely,we are spoiled these days.We have computers,food,freedom so much freedom.Maybe coronavirus will stop us for a while and make us realize what we are losing...

LimitlessThinker My great grandmother was born to two Italians from Naples. When I was either in middle school or high school (I forget), I did an ancestry report for class. I asked her “Grandma, are we from Naples or Sicily - I forget.” I’ll never forget her response, because I’d never seen such a look of horror and shock (and basically offensive disgust) from her lol. She turned around and stared right into my soul and said slowly and clearly, “WE ARE FROM NAPLES AND DON’T YOU EVER FORGET IT!!” I didn’t; that’s for sure! She was the most wonderful relative in my whole family and was always jovial and cracking jokes - that was the most serious I’d ever seen her. I initially couldn’t understand why she came off as being offended for my simple request for clarification, but later on I figured it out: there was quite the difference in the peoples and culture from central Italy and the southern island of Sicily. For the most part, Sicilians were generally much darker from having been more affected by breeding with Africans in their history, to the point that northern and central ltaIians thought of them as basically bIack and not related haha.

I bet your Nonna could cook! If you haven't you should check out Buono a Petiti. Gina Is an older Sicilian lady and still has a very heavy Italian accent. I absolutely adore her! The first video I watched of her she was making dough in a large tote with about 20 POUNDS of flour!! She never even broke a sweat and at one point her grandson (who is the videographer)if she was having a hard time and she says 'Ahhhh it's not so hard' and THAT is why you don't mess with an Italian Momma/Nonna! She has the strength in her forearms to backhand you across a room if you backtalk her! LOL

LimitlessThinker I’m full blooded Italian and I miss all of the cooking my family did. Homemade pasta, pasta sauce (though some call it gravy I learned) simmering for up to 3 days on the stove top, big meatballs, ravioli, and so much more. Though I was born in the U.S. I’m very blessed to be raised with a lot of Italian traditions.

Cyber hug. You are not alone.

It’s gonna be okay.

Keep the FAITH!!

It's looking like we're gonna have a repeat of the Great Depression because our governments are too stupid to realize that freezing the economy for the sake of stopping a virus with a

@@bigboineptune9567 There's definitely more to this diabolical story...

Wait. 2023 is coming.

@@ge-ys1uz do you not see that this comment was 2 years ago lmao two years ago was 2020.

It seems to be getting worse thanks to politics filling their pockets and bills passed to help them not us.

@@Boobookittenn Lol

@@pamelalagerquist1935 I hear you out

Oh yes😁 well said

True I was told as a kid they used a rag in that time. My grandparents & neighbors told me incredible depression stories. I been watching Clara for years amazing woman.

Cupcake4me Clara would be laughing at the fools hoarding toilet paper !

"about" to cry, I'm sobbing

I'm bawling. Suddenly I realized that the things that mattered a couple of weeks ago, never mattered at all. We've all fallen on our knees.

@@shoptilyoudrop ♥️

Adrian Alonzo " when did she die ? "

Y’all this was uploaded only 6 days ago.. I think she’s alive still- but idk..

She is so wonderful. She will make you feel hopeful. There is life after all this mess.

She mumbles a lot though, kinda annoying to listen to.

@@samuraidoggy it's part of the charm

Speaking of which, I'm about to take a nap

Clara

I could see you one day sharing about how you survived your own hard times. Keep on keeping’ on.

Heavenly auntie ange my grandma was born 1906 lol

she sounds wonderful! May she Rest In Peace🙏💕

I wish the Greatest Generation were still around, it seems like they were the last generation with any damn sense.

Baby boomer lol. Be grateful for everything, don't cut people out or be inconsiderate to the ones who created you. Baby boomer... lol...

Thank you for sharing this Heavenly Auntie. Two solid bits of advice for so many who hadn't the privilege of learning from their grandmothers, or from that generation.
