Another cheap meal is potatoes, ground sausage roll, cabbage and cream of mushroom soup. Fry it all together in a skillet with a little olive oil. If you can afford American cheese slices add that to the top. All the food groups in one dish.
I make egg salad sammies for the kids. So cheap and they love them.

thanks everyone…with twenty left I am going with the spaghetti with hamburger. it will feed us almost a week and we have bologna and cheese sandwiches for a week so that gets us almost to pay day.
@jukebox You posted less than 2 weeks ago that you donated three boxes of food to a donation box. While it’s commendable that you were wanting to help others, it sounds like you really needed that food for yourself.

I am always willing to help my kid out if she is in a crunch. She’s my kid. And I would help for years if I had to. Your parents may be more understanding than you give them credit for.

I was also wondering about this. And how much it costs to run neighbours around as the neighbourhood taxi service, as well.

I’m all for giving people a hard time,
But he’s talking about food here.
I agree he should have kept those items,
He didn’t and now he’s worried about making it though the month.
It’s pretty low to to hit him like that when he’s down.
And again,
I love being mean spirited,
Still, when someone is without actual food for themselves,
Feels inappropriate.
My intention was not to give you a hard time @jukebox. I sincerely apologize to you and hope that you are able to sort out your food shortage situation.
