It amazes me that families today have trouble living on a budget. When I was a young mother I actually worked out a MONTHLY menu to use every morsel available. I also took a calculator to the grocery store and compared prices diligently. More families should use these practices.

[@deborahvrtis4428]

I used to do these things out of pressing necessity. Now we’re spoiled with a little money in our pockets & we just buy what looks good. However, I cleaned out my refrigerator 2 days ago & made a wonderful soup out of the ground beef & misc veggies. I bought groceries today & was very happy to have a nice hardy meal ready when I came home. I like to pair soups & stews & chilis etc with corn bread made on a sweeter note.

[@deborahvrtis4428]

It is time Americans started being more frugal & stop wasting food. Most of us have never gone hungry for more than a meal or maybe for religious reasons.

[@aubreymorgan9763]

me and my mother too. I see people with so many 'budget' grocery hauls with chips and frozen processed food. we grew up with only fresh things and junk food was a rare treat. for a while as an adult i was on food stamps and only given 40 a month so I had to get creative, but i still ate pretty well (mostly stews and chilis). and now tightening up my belt again, ground turkey is pretty cheap here so i buy that from costo as my main protein and break it up into like turkey burgers, chillies, wontons for soups, and sausages. most vegtables used to come from a home garden (i'm looking forward to having one again).

My dear grandmother used to take the remaining pie dough from her magnificent pies & she’d roll the scraps out & sprinkle cinnamon & sugar over the amazing dough, roll it up & slice into bite-sized pieces. Baked them & there were never enough. We usually only got these on holidays & so everyone had a cinnamon treat before the meal was served. I still do this today in her memory.

Most of the stuff on this list is stuff i grew up on in the 80's and still eat today. A glass of butter milk and piece of savory cornbread make a great snack. We cook a big ole pot of beans seasoned with bacon fat at least twice a month. We use lard for baking and frying almost daily. Hell just about every one i know eats the stuff on this list today. It's kinda crazy that poor peoples diets haven't changed much in 97 years.

[@gracegoodenough5895]

Same here! And my kids still call and ask, "how do you make...". The only problem for me was that my mother COULD NOT COOK! Growing up there were several Of these that I suffered through, but once I began cooking them for my kids, I added appropriate herbs and spices and scored BIG TIME! While stationed in Kentucky, the best comfort meal that I and my kids found and still love today was pinto beans cooked with hamhocks, chow chow (pickle relish) and sweet cornbread!😋😋😋😋 While my kids were still at home, they would fight to have chicken broth, with dumplings (the heavy flour, eggs, milk/water "clunkers" pushed off of a spoon rather than rolled)and then dashed with parsley or dried parsley. 😋😋😋 Sour cream pie (with raisins)😋😋😋 Buckwheat pancakes. I'm tripping down memory lane and you're making me hungry 😂 Peanut butter: my mother hated it so we never got it at home. I discovered it when I left for college and I still have "Peanut butter deficiencies" occasionally 😂 When my children refused to eat what was served, my response was always the same, "the Peanut butter is in the cupboard." ( which implied YOU make the sammich) My eldest son grew up to be a 6'7" football player 😂. His wife told us once that she had to hide it if she wanted to use it😊 Except for the Spam...eww!

Some of yall are going to starve when the sh!t hits the fan. Many of our recipes were passed down from our enslaved ancestors. Im sure other peoole at it too. We ate everything on the pig or starved. I dont eat it anymore but I still know how to make it. Scrambled eggs and pig brains, head cheese, boiled pig tails, ears, feet and snoots, ox tails, chitlins, hog maws, liver and onions, chicken gizzards. We rarely ate meat in the 70s. It was used for seasoning. Fried cabbage and ham hock, pinto beans and ham hock, greens and ham hock, fried corn wth bacon grease. Every meal had cornbread. Whatever cornbread was left over in the skillet, it went into the freezee for cornbread dressing for thanksgiving and Christmas. Bread and biscuits were homemade. Chicken and dumplings were a treat. We had a huge garden. We canned the fruit and veg so we coukd eat in the winter. You ate the bones and skin when salmon patties her made. Desserts were homemade. Water pie was baked once a month. Chess pie is similar to buttermilk pie.

The Depression happened from 1929 to 1939. My father was born in 1927 his brother 1921. Their father who was forced to drop out of the fifth grade to work as a child, who was born in 1899, was a simple carpet salesman during the Depression and they didn’t starve. Mom was born in 1931 and her family didn’t starve and were considered Middle Class. Everyone suffered during the Depression. “Delicious foods for the Poor” sounds as usual insulting added to the demeaning names the Poor are called! Middle Class, or upper Middle Class as they were called also suffered from the Depression. I don’t think the Rich had a great time of the Depression either. I don’t think the Poor and those others who suffered walked around saying boy what little we could buy to was especially delicious. They were just glad they weren’t starving to death! I’ve heard it said today that something like Mac and cheese and eating Ramen is considered “Poor food”. Pretty darn demeaning. Today with Middle Class constantly complaining about food prices, who’ve never gone a day hungry no one says the food they eat is “delicious”. They should be grateful they’re eating.

When I was a kid our family ate many of these things.We ate a lot of wild game that included squirrel, rabbit, raccoon, pheasant, grouse and woodcock. I grew up in the 50's-60-s on a farm. We raised our own beef, pork and chicken. We had our own eggs,milk and cream. We had 3 milk cows that me and my sister milked 2 times a day. My mother made butter and cottage cheese. My mother saved newspapers to wash windows, we had a wringer washer and hung out the wash. in the winter we hung the clothes in the cellar. We had a wood-burning furnace that keep the cellar warm and dry. Our house didn't have central heating. The second floor got heat that rose up the stairs. It got cold up there. My sister and brother and me slept up there. We worked hard and it was a good life. Now days people can't do anything unless a DIY on their computer tells them how.

Well it was hard times for a lot of people in my community well into the 1950's as the coal mines that fueled our economy were owned by the railroads who were switching to diesel power after WWII and, one by one, four of the five mines that were in and around our town closed. So we ate Depression food well into the 1950's and beyond. My grandmother who was known for her frugalness had her favorite penny meals. One was Social Security soup, made when there was too much month at the end of the money. She would get free chicken necks and backs from the butcher and boil them in a broth with carrots, onions, and celery, then add a box of barley to the mix and salt and lots of pepper. We ate dandelions at supper every spring and early summer.. She would cook up a piece of fatback or bacon in a cast iron skillet and add lower the heat adding some cider vinegar to the fat and deglazing the pan, Then she would pout the hot vinegar over the well cleaned dandelions and garnish with bacon bits, chopped onion or scallions, and sliced hard boiled eggs that had been boiled the night before and placed in the fridge to set. I eat this every chance I get and even taught it to my wife and children. I helped my then ten year old daughter make it and take it to school for "Show and Tell". She made enough for the whole class to try and they loved it. Some of the kids went home and told their families who also remembered when they had it as a kid growing up and more people started eating them again. You mentioned potato candy, but potatoes were also a basic staple in the 30's and well afterwards in my hometown. Mothers would bake them in the morning for children and put the hot potatoes in their coat pockets with a small bottle of salt and pepper. The kids could warn their hands on the way to school by holding the potatoes and the spuds were lunch as well. Potatoes were used in many ways, boiled, baked, fried, made into flour for baking. Ever have a Tastee Cream donut? Potato flour is a key ingredient. My grandmother came up with a delicious potato salad that did not require mayonnaise. She combined thin sliced boiled potatoes with their skins on and left in the fridge before cutting to cool and harden, With chopped celery, thin sliced red radishes, sliced scallions, diced cooked bacon for garnish in a simple oil, vinegar , garlic and salt and pepper dressing and a final garnish of chopped parsley and chopped celery leaves. Served cold. Potatoes could be used in so many ways- hash browns and American fries wih onions, Potato salads, mashed potatoes, diced with hot dogs , carrots, and celery, potato soup with ham hocks. baked potatoes garnished or straight out of the campfire with salt and pepper ,French fries, potato bread, and another one of my grandmother's favorites gnocchi which was a Sunday pleasure. In addition to wild greens there was a lot of wild food in our forests, mushrooms such as morels, frosties, and hens of the wood were plentiful if you knew where to look. Berries such as wild blackberries and dew berries were also plentiful, as were wild onions. People made teas out of sassafras and other roots and plants,, wine out of dandelion flowers, and coffee out of dandelion roots and chicory, Cattail corms could be used as flour and their roots are edible when cooked.

Spoiler. The Great depression began in 1929. 1927 was the roaring twenties. Read a book.

the great depression was in 1928 in the US. Better lay off the AI and INVEST in people who can DO YOUR RESEARCH!!

You can talk !. You are also so wrong....

[@deborahbien-aime5018]

Youre really ignorant if you really believe that poor people didn't exist back then even b4 the depression. These meals would probably apply to the US farmers who didn't experience the roaring 20s like the middle class. In every society, even in our own there will always be poverty no matter what era.

I like how this ai is sooo racist and wrong about what it! Talking about

[@edmartin875]

Let me guess. You are so woke that everyone but the woke folks are racists. The video is about food that people ate during a period when many more people were so poor food was hard to come by. Look at the pictures of the lines of people waiting their turn to get a little food. The line had people of different races in it and nobody was giving anyone any grief. So far in the comments you are the one and only griefer.
