TIL my grandma fed 5 kids on $12 a week in 1974, and I tried her bean pot recipe for a month
She handed me her old recipe box at Easter and the bean page had a note about stretching a ham bone for 3 dinners, which made me rethink how I plan my own grocery runs. Anyone else cooking from old family recipes to keep the bill down, and what's the one that actually saves you money?

My mom has this old church cookbook from the 60s and the soup section is gold. One ham bone turns into split pea soup, then the leftover broth goes in a pot of beans. Saves me at least $20 a week on lunch.
