[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This website has a menu and recipes to feed a family of 4 for a week for $45. http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/40dollarmenu.htm It looks like a lot of work. Lots of stuff from scratch, soaking beans, bread from scratch, etc.[/quote] 15:00 here. Yes, also this. Many of the "poor" foods that result in getting proper nutrition require cooking everything from scratch. It is time consuming. It worked for us because my mom stayed home. She planned weekly menus and spent a lot of time cooking. Beans soaking overnight, bread rising overnight. That sort of thing. Of course, the flipside is also true. People who are wealthy often have MORE time on their hands and can cook elaborately. They just end up with things like chicken cordon bleu or a salad with 15 ingredients, rather than "beans and rice".[/quote]
