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.

Lived on a 7 acre plot with a large garden and a nearby stream where the banks were covered in blackberries. Mom canned, dad always got a dear and we had pigs. Never went hungry and my dad was the only one worked and made about 20k a year in the 80's. We had so much excess food we gave it away to our church. Life was awesome.
