Growing up, our family wasn't completely impoverished, but I know my parents pinched some pennies. My mom is a "Southern cook", so we ate a lot of fried chicken, potato salad and the like, since the ingredients were so inexpensive. When my mom fried chicken, she put a few sheets of folded newspaper lined on top with a few sheets of paper towels to place the chicken on when it came out of the oil. This works for anything you cook in oil, and I believe it helps drain off more oil than just placing paper towels on a plate. PLUS, it's one less dish to wash! I use this technique all the time, especially for bacon, since that particular meat can be very greasy!
Hope this tip helps you in YOUR kitchen! Enjoy!
