Default Re: cheapest foods to fill you up(healthy)

Well, I thought about this and then took a peek at my pantry.....
I have tons of rice
Tons of noodles
mounds of potatoes
dried beans of every sort! Pintos
White beans bean soup mix
SSSSSSHHHHHH Even a box of instant potatoes in case! blushing
Powdered milk
I mix 1 gallon of powdered milk with 1 gallon of whole milk and it compares to 2%
I have even added 1/3 water to whole milk and it turns into 2%
Now I eat correctly
But I eat cheaply
I buy peanut butter at damaged frieght sale stores. It is the protein king!
We as a family eat now! Two teen boys! They really prefer a meal as to junk!
I have flour in 10 pound areas
Buy surgar in 25 pd bags and separate
Buy brown eggs from lady in town
What I am trying to say is if you keep basic ingredents on hand you can find a meal within
We have corn meal and make tator cakes, to cornbread to most bread out of it!
We use flour surgar eggs vanilla for cake mixes and go from there.
Industrail cans of pumkin! Goodness i love pumkin bread. The tight wad lady book recipe is my standerd.
I really hate to cook but don't tell because of our tight budget it is a chore of mine. Well at least DH sees it as a good thing because he gets the chore of clean up!
