In this one I'll walk you through the 5 suppers I cook when money runs out, every one under $2 a plate: 🍳 Egg gravy over toast — ten minutes and about forty cents a plate 🥬 Fried cabbage and noodles that feeds a crowd for pennies 🥔 A big pot of potato soup that tastes richer than it has any right to 🫘 Beans and cornbread, and baked spaghetti that looks like Sunday dinner …and who makes money off you believing cooking from scratch is too hard. Keep a few of these in your back pocket and a hard week never turns into a scary one. A little know-how feeds your family well and keeps your money right where it belongs.
