Times are hard, you find yourself
either unemployed, under-employed or on a fixed income. Doesn't
matter much which, they all suck! (That's about half this country
these days)! Eating well and eating cheaply can sometimes be real
hard to do. Here's some ideas that require just a few simple
ingredients to make some healthy meals without stripping you
penniless!
Ingredients:
Oscar Meyer hotdog, sliced
1/2 cup pork n beans
1/2 medium russet potato, baked
toast, slice
1 c. 2% milk
butter or fake butter
salt (fake optional) and pepper

I got a good deal on the hotdogs and
potatoes; a package of 12 Oscar Meyer franks for only a buck and a 10
lb bag of russet potatoes for just $3! so, figuring about twenty six
174 gram potatoes per bag, my cost per potato was about 12 cents!
Likewise, each wiener worked out to be about 8 cents each and
with other items figured in, I would guess one serving would cost in
the neighborhood of 67-75 cents! That's affordable even by my
standards!
By mixing in just a few more
ingredients; sauerkraut, cottage cheese and salad fixings from the
garden (you do have a garden, right)? You can come up with an entire
group of tasty creations that won't break the budget!
