    Amazon reviews are the best. Saw one where the person gave one star about a light fixture because they fell off a ladder installing it lol literally nothing to do with the fixture itself.

      Steven's grandmother's cornbread is a staple in our house! Probably have made it 20x by now lol soooo good. It's my dads favorite. He even eats it for breakfast with honey! I realized my oven is different so do a different time. Even have to do that with frozen pizza.

    I buy leg quarters from Walmart. I cut the thigh off of the leg and use the legs for soup and use the thighs for meals. My kids are grown so easier to use the legs for that. They are Perdue brand and it's a 10lb bag for $6.14 in Upstate NY Just wanted to put it out there I know it's gotten me through some tough times hope it helps someone.

    I try to keep boxed broths and canned broths or frozen homemade at all times so that soup stews casseroles pasta things can be made in a needed not really anything we would like to buy around. And bits and ends in the house. I also pickle eggs. Buy on sale dozens and can make huge jars. Eggs in the grocery store are dated three week shelf life which is not even close. But governmentally mandated to egg farmers. They will be fine for weeks later. Do many flavors and its a well loved snack or lunch they get wiped out fast but very cost efficient. And do ferments out of veggies that are about to go. I also always stock up on beans and soups and tomatoes sauces etc. Yes Always comes in handy some how some way. :) I totally myself love buttered egg noodles with a dash of salt and a bit of gravy. Club house pork. Another trick I do if no bread crumbs for meatloaf or balls or hamburgers etc. I actually use oatmeal. So I put a very small amount of quick or steal oats in my blender, For a quick whirr. It works perfect and my gluten intolerant husband can eat the dishes. And they hold together perfect and taste amazing. So love Murphy....hugs

    Ground beef and bacon is not necessarily budget friendly at this time. Beans and rice I can agree with along with some cornbread. I believe that the meal you cooked would cost the same with the ingredients you've used not in a soup. With a little innovation and brain power I'm quite sure you'll feed your family without throwing a bunch of shit together and calling a dinner.
