Low Cost Meals Menu, Grocery List Recipes – Week 12

by Sacagawea on October 12, 2009

weeklymenusThis 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 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.
