Your folks were the same age as mine. Depression Era; nothing got thrown away, especially not food. Good luck.

My wife and I are in our 80’s and were born during the depression and the scarcity of food due to WWII.
Our mothers, cooked what they could afford and any leftovers became lunches or more meals. No one in our extended families ever had food poisoning due to bad food.
My wife had a little trouble reducing her recipe sizes when our sons left home to go college and/or work. So at first a lot of food went to our German Short Haired Pointer, our canine garbage disposal.
The dog’s vet recognized the weight gain and why in the dog in one year. He told my wife to give the dog a little left overs and mix them with her evening dog food dinner. In a year, the dog was back basically to normal weight wise and lived until her late teens.
My wife got into cooking smaller meals with basic control sized helpings. Costco is big help there with their salmon, beef, hamburger and pork package in basically one person sizes of seafood, beef, pork, chicken or ?.
Any leftovers after dinner go into a plastic container with a seal-able top and into the refrig for leftover lunches or another meal.
Also, in about 2 weeks, our fresh veggie/fruit merchant will be seeing us about 3 times a week until about Thanksgiving or the first frosts. My wife uses our Costco protein meal sized portions for one to go with the fresh produce.
I just found a silver eagle coin. Pure silver. One pound. That is, it looks like a silver eagle, except it is very thick and about 5” around and has 99.9% pure silver 16 oz stamped on it.
This is turning into a treasure hunt.
I found 30 honeycomb rounds. I’m having some on my salad right now. Best honey I ever tasted.
