A Journey with The American Frugal Housewife
You can find many versions of The American Frugal Housewife online. Most look to be in much better condition than this 1844 version found amongst my grandmother's belongings. I like this musty and mildewed old version. The stained pages tell me which bits were most used and read and which were perhaps skimmed and forgotten. I can almost feel the hands that touched it before mine. Some is laughable and archaic and some wise. All of it worth some thought.
