How to Make Emergency Candles out of Bacon Grease?
Growing up, my mom always kept an old jar of bacon grease on top of the fridge.
She mostly used it for cooking — at least, that's what she said it was for. More than anything, it seemed like it just sat there for ages.
I'm a big fan of finding a use for everything and never throwing anything away, even if it's just old fat. With a little creativity, you can find a purpose for just about everything.
