my dad was a janitor at a school and he hated the fact that every day he hauled four large steel garbage cans full of food out to the dump. He set up an exchange table and if there was anything in your lunch that you did not want you put it on the table and if you were hungry you went to the table and helped yourself. Those four cans were cut down to less than half a garbage can.

[@TheRivetts]

Sounds like the reason the kids weren’t hungry was the fact they were not addicted to sugar. Great video, loads of top tips. 👍

My garden saves me. money. I canned 134 qts of green beans not to mention the corn, squash, okra, and peppers I put up. I made 23 jars of jelly from one plum tree. I made pickles, pickled okra, pickled peppers. I am eating turnip greens and freezing some for later. I have a lot of herbs and onions. In the summer I eat breakfast out of my yard. I pick cherry tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries, plums or apples. I buy a head of lettuce and salad dressing and I have everything else for a huge salad from asparagus to kale to arugula, peppers, cukes, spinach,tomatoes, and herbs. You can take one tomato seed and produce numerous plants by rooting some stems. I even have black pepper plants indoors

I admire the close mum/daughter relationship, sensible tips and self confidence and the immense pride you have in what you do. Kudos to mum who has a awesome personality. Really admirable !!!

[@sari337]

Wow! I admire your mother. She is amazing!! That is exactly what a mother is supposed to do in such a situation. It was hard but she pulled through making sure her kids were taken care of. I applaud you!

[@campoida]

How amazing your mom was to figure out the Nutririon her family needed!

[@Truth1561]

You truly speak my language ! I used to be a health Visitor here in the U.K. Working with vulnerable families - often young unmarried mothers who didn't have a clue Re budgeting , cooking, menu etc. My big ambition was to start budgeting and cooking classes for these families but my employer was too shortsighted to see the benefit .

[@greyline1012]

I’m Irish and growing up in the 70s and 80s there definitely wasn’t a lot of money, also this was during the “Troubles” So meals were carefully planned and very nutritious. A pot of homemade soup cost around £1 and would feed a family of 4 for two days. Boiled potatoes with it was very filling. Then for the next two days it was minced stew, and this could be curried which tastes amazing. Liver was also on the menu which was lovely and a chicken dinner for Sunday’s. My mums careful spending never saw our food shopping go over £6, and now I’ve carried what she did into my home life. It can be done ppl. Have a price set and don’t deviate. Do your weekly menu and don’t deviate.

Thanks for letting us single moms off the hook about all this organic food, gardening, etc. Time and money are already stretched to the limit but society adds all this pressure to be perfect.

[@tinam2696]

Great tips. My mom was a single mom...not easy. I praise single moms...it is hard. 🙋

I was overpacking my childs lunch and he himself said at one point,please dont send so much with me to eat.i cant eat that much and even if i am that hungry -we don't really have enough time to eat as it is.

[@moniquegrier8865]

I found this video helpful for myself. For me personally what spoke to me is how stress is more harmful to buying the "perfect" type of food for my family. I remember hearing that no matter how "healthy" you eat the consistent high levels of stress we are in/do to ourselves will undo almost health benefits from "healthy" food.

[@vinucete]

She reminds me of my frugal grandma, I can’t believe how I am going back to her teachings, now that I’m in my 20’s. Thank you for posting.

[@Msloverawfood]

Back then you didn't need to buy "organic", every was naturally organic. They didn't use pestisides or GMO's or spray everything. Luv your site.

[@gc8024]

I felt bad cause grand kids wanted cookies. To high. I told them i have all the stuff to make homade ones. Cheap grandma or good now they know how to make. Had fun as well

[@54jeanmarie]

Life passes so quickly and one of the things my elderly patients told me was-they wished they had not given up so much. Sad you could not have a cup of coffee which you loved each morning. I faced struggles too, married to someone who got into heavy drugs. I asked my boss to give me extra patients for added money. Still tough, but eventually he,6'4'' big guy, left and w/ one less to feed and more money coming in, it did get easier.

[@lauraanguiano4141]

most of the people i know are used to having their fridges stuffed. i only buy necessary stuff and am not scared to see my refrigerator half empty

[@jennyksslr]

So true! The lunchroom waste at school in one day could easily feed our family of 6 for a month.

[@brendaryan306]

Growing up we raised chickens, had venison, a few caught fish and supplemented by 1/4 of a cow. We had a big garden and canned everything. I agree we were healthier and rarely went to the grocery store. We also didn't have much garbage. Organic food does not have more nutrients, but it is free of cancer causing chemicals from Monsanto
