Vent: My grandma's nickel dinner trick I totally forgot about
Stopped by my aunt's place last weekend and she pulled out grandma's old recipe box from the 70s. Every single dinner had a total cost written on the card, like 47 cents or 32 cents, no prices on ingredients. Anyone else find old family tricks that work way better than these fancy budget blogs now?

Right? My mom still cooks from grandma's box and I swear the cheapest meals taste the best. That one with the ground beef and cream of mushroom soup over rice, she had it marked as 38 cents total for the whole family. I tried following those fancy food blog recipes for a while but they cost like fifteen bucks and take an hour of chopping. Grandma's stuff is just salt, pepper, maybe some onion powder and it's done in 20 minutes. I started writing costs on my own recipe cards now, it really makes you think about what you're actually spending.

Write those costs down, it really hits different.
