Grocery prices keep going up every time I go to the store. I recently wrote an article about some of the Great Depression Era Meals. Wow, thanks so much to all my readers for giving me even more ideas to add to the list. Here’s the deal, I d0n’t see the grocery prices coming down anytime soon, so today I decided to put together 100 low budget meals anyone will love. If you are like me I can’t wait until my garden is ready to harvest! I save so much money having a garden! Yep, salads every night, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, etc. I make my own ranch salad dressing, or just use balsamic vinegar with olive oil. Yummy! I watch for the meat in the clearance area or I don’t buy meat at all. I admire people who have access to real grass fed meat without the antibiotics and hormones added.
