I am Arlie Caudill, and I have lived my whole life up a holler in Letcher County, Kentucky. Ruby and I raised seven younguns at one kitchen table, mostly on short money.
In this one I give you a thirty-dollar grocery list, item by item, with the price on every one. I sat down with a pencil and counted how many plates it makes. It comes to one hundred and one. I show you how we cook it at our place: one big pot of chicken, a gallon of broth from bones most folks throw out, soup beans, light bread, dumplings and tomato gravy. Then on the last night, everwhat supper.
There is also one thing most folks buy every week that you will not need to buy at all. I learned it at hog killings and from my Mamaw.
I will tell you plainly where this falls short too. It is a lean week, not a way to live for a year.
Tell me in the comments what you buy already made that you reckon you could make yourself. I read every one.
