📕 Get the full cookbook - The Lunch Lady's $3,600-a-Year Grocery Cut (175 recipes & tricks, scaled for 1, 2, or a family, $27): http://dorislunchlady.com/ In 1974 my father's hours at the shoe factory were cut to three days a week, and I learned you could tell which families on our street were short on money without one person saying a word. It was in the boots, the windows, the haircuts, and what was on the supper plate. I am Mrs. Doris, the oldest of five from Scioto County, Ohio, and the lunch lady who fed four hundred children a day for thirty-five years. These are seventeen of those signs: bread bags inside your boots, water in the ketchup bottle, foil on the rabbit ears, ice on the inside of the window, the week the women of America stopped buying meat, and the lunch ticket that was a different color. #1970s #nostalgia #lunchlady
