This week’s menu focuses on low-cost meals. Everything is quick and easy to make. One night, you’ll double your effort by making a big pot of Hamburger Vegetable soup. Depending on your family size you can freeze half of it (or more) to feed everyone again on a busy night.
This menu also includes Depression Era Bread. Adding bread to a meal stretches the food, making it more economical. Depression Era Bread is very cheap to make and you end up with a lot of loaves. It’s time well spent.
I know so many people are trying to stretch their food budget as far as it will go. I hope that this menu will help. If you want to print the first Low Cost Meals Menu and Grocery list you can click here.

I’m making the potato soup tonight. Thanks.
Ohhh. yum! The hamburger soup looks especially good!
I made the Cream Chipped Beef last night. Wow, so good and so easy!
I need menus for low cost people
not bad
I just wanted to thank you for the recipes. I’ve printed a few to try this week. It would be nice to be able to type in the recipe names in the menu planner each week. Any suggestions? Thanks.
