I remember my grandmother who lived to age 98 told me about an "all-day sucker" - basically fill a spoon in peanut butter, and when it's done, fill it up again. Repeat all day. Can you tell she lived during the depression?

I didn't think much of it as a kid. Thought it was a pretty good idea. Then I learned about food sanitation practices, and reconsidered.

when it’s done, fill it up again. Repeat all day.

So every 10 seconds?

In modern fat American terms, sure. But in the Depression? You better make that spoon last at least an hour or two
