9. My mom used to save bacon grease

After frying bacon or cooking something in bacon grease, she'd pour the grease into a strainer over an aluminum container to keep the lumps out. Then, she'd put the lid on the container and put it in the refrigerator for later use. This was back in the 50s to the 70s before people started figuring out bacon grease and fats weren't good for us.

I've got to admit, it did make the food taste better.
