My family was poor, but my mom always had a hot meal for dinner, anything from fried bologna and eggs, spam and eggs, meatloaf, greenbeans and mashed taters, and on Fridays it was always bread pudding made from the leftover bread from the past week. Please list your cheap but delicious meals your mom served you. As the economy falters many of us will be serving those tasty meals of the past.

One week mom would buy a whole chicken and make it last an entire week. The next week she would buy a roast and make it last the entire week. And there was always plenty of that nasty government cheese. There were times when money was so tight, mom would dumpster dive at the local grocery store to dig out the canned goods that had recently expired. I am grateful for a mom that always made sure we had something to eat.
