Looks scrumptious. . However, there's nothing like Poor Man's Meal, otherwise known as "Trash Plate." My favorite version, handed down to me by my grandpa, combines ground beef, thinly sliced fried potatoes, baked beans, some scallions, with a little cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. The family likes to eat it two or three times a week after a hearty breakfast of homegrown oats and maybe sausage and gravy for lunch - a popular Depression era recipe. The family dog usually gets some scraps from each meal.
Thank you for sharing your Grandpa’s Trash Plate meal sounds delicious. We are from New York so we never had sausage and gravy only sausage and eggs. My father was Italian so he liked sweet sausage and meatballs in the tomato sauce. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa! This was fun to watch. I went to the store yesterday. I got only what was on my list. It costs me just over $91! Yikes! 🤦😭 I dug in my little freezer and found some pork chops I had frozen. That made me happy. Sometimes I squirrel away things in my freezer. I'm happy I get to have some meat. 😁 Take care Grandma and Grandpa! 💜🙏💜🙏
I am glad you liked the video. I was grocery shopping this morning and had my list with me. I did not buy anything that was not on my list to make sure I don’t go over the food budget. The depression era meals helps so much with the food prices rising so fast. Thank you for watching❤️👩🏻&👨🍳
Our small town grocery store is all we have. It's an hour's drive to the big city to get cheaper food. Our Grocery Store has always been over priced. ☹️
We are heartbroken over Ditto but we believe he is now with Hydrox and they are so happy to be together. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day❤️👩🏻👨🍳 & Lucky
Yesterday, I went shopping in my own pantry for lunch (outta fod, you know). In an hour, I had made tabouleh, a REAL hummus (I forgot I even HAD tahini). I made a cucumber salad, and I heated some frozen pita I had forgotten. Lunch was FREE, basically, and my husband loved it! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you for sharing the delicious lunch you made for you and your husband. I am glad to hear I was an inspiration. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
I love all of these recipes Grandma and Grandpa, I think the cabbage and potatoes is my favorite ,of course I could eat cabbage every other day its so good, thank you for these depression era meals they really do help save money, lots of love to you both 💜
Thank you for these. My parents are older folk (late 70s) and on a low fixed income. I worry about them because I am far away and unable to cook for them or help. Like many people their age, they've never experienced really struggling to eat even on a low income. Lots of people my age (I'm 44) have never seen inflation like this either. I was very poor during my university years (and after for a while) and learned to really scrape a penny, but now that I have kids, I find it a challenge to find quality food for them at the prices in the store. Eggs, dairy, meat and vegetables are becoming out of reach. 😥 Things we thought were basics, like apples, are becoming luxuries for us. It's scary.
My parents lived through the Great Depression and I was told what it was like. Growing up my Mother made us many of the meals from the Great Depression plus she had a recipe collection. I am very thankful that I can prepare many of the meals and it helps with the cost of my grocery bill. At this time I know it is a challenge to feed a family. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
Hi Zoa We are happy to hear you love these videos. The prices of groceries are going up so fast that we have to make meals like this. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day❤️👩🏻&👨🍳
I am happy you like the videos. They are made to be helpful in showing everyone they can make inexpensive meals that will help with their food budget. It is awful how fast food prices are rising. Thank you so much for watching 👩🏻
Grandma, it looks (by the price) that you've run out of St. Patrick's Day cabbage. I bought three heads at the time when it was cheap, and still have one. I like stretching my budget by getting family size meat packages (such as relatively inexpensive chicken leg quarters) and using them up over the course of a week or so. I'll also buy meat near its sell-by date that is marked for quick sale. Made a big score this way last week in Lidl, $1.50 for a (surprise!) doubled up pack of 24 breakfast sausage patties. (They must have been very overstocked.) Had some for dinner that day, along with the cabbage. Froze rest until ready to use. Looking forward to more Depression-era foods from you! Oh, and of course my condolences to all on the loss of Ditto.😿💔
We are heartbroken over the passing of Ditto. I don’t remember what store we bought the cabbage, just the price, as we are shopping now at so many different stores. Grandpa and I are eating a lot of meatless meals. We only will have a steak once a year to celebrate a special occasion. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day. Enjoy the sunshine❤️👩🏻&👨🍳
@@GrandmaFeral I'm shopping mostly Lidl these days, though I don't always like what they have. I only get items that are well-priced, and make do with those. (It's small, open late until 10pm, and has a short, flat entry from handicapped parking, and that's more important to me these days than being able to find everything I need in the packaging/quantity I prefer.) I am looking forward to the new ShopRite opening, whenever that will be. (Looks like it's coming along.) It will be more walking for sure, though. Yes, enjoy the sun! It's rather shockingly bright today after all that dreary rain.
Yes everything is homemade. Years ago they did not have fast food and large supermarkets. Mostly everyone would shop at a corner grocery store and if they could they grew their own vegetables. Thank you so much for watching and have a great day👩🏻
Yes all the prices are high when you live in New York especially are taxes. That is one of the reasons so many move out of state. Thank you for watching and have a good day👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral so right my children are 45 and 50 and they feed it to my grandchildren. The way things are today I'm so pleased we still have recipes for depression food.
I went to the Dollar Tree and found a few cans of name brand tuna and bought what they had left. I have found so many name brand food items. The only thing is if you see them you have to buy them because next time you go they will be all gone. Thank you so much for watching and have a good weekend👩🏻
How can four slices of bread for the tuna sandwiches cost $0.50? Two servings of cabbage was too high as well. Where are you doing your grocery shopping?
We live in New York and all are prices are higher than most states especially taxes. I do my shopping in many grocery stores. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻

Thanks Grandma. Not just good recipes but great advice. Eat simply, and you don't need meat three times a day.
Grandpa and I mainly eat meatless meals and we don’t miss the meat. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa. I enjoy watching Depression-era videos because my folks grew up during that time.

I like that you included the spices in the price. Everyone else leaves it out as though it just magically appears in the pantry.
Today the price of spices have gone up also.❤️Grandma👩🏻
Thank you for these great videos! I needed meals that I can make stretch with these prices as I'm sure many do.

@@GrandmaFeral thank you so much!!
We need information on lentils and rice instead of meat and fish.
We hear you thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral after all we make much less than $350,000 a year. We can no longer afford meat, fish, or chicken. Lentils and rice and rice and beans.
Wow your cabbages are expensive 😢 Thank you for the video. Take care God bless x

It hard to believe corn meal mush has a recipe. I like mush but I wonder today if any children know about mush.
The children who’s parent or parents like mush probably do. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral so right my children are 45 and 50 and they feed it to my grandchildren. The way things are today I'm so pleased we still have recipes for depression food.
Very interesting
