Very cheap? I dunno, rising cost of sugar these days and eventually other things will follow. Where I live milk is over $5.00 a gallon so dunno about "cheap".If you're a history buff, this is a double-treat ...

A woman shows recipes from the Great Depression, along with personal recollections. I really enjoyed it. Too many of them to list here.
Actually with the economy the way it is, these videos serve a third purpose. The recipes are healthy and very, very cheap.
But cutting corners and such is important, especially now-a-days and for families. Learning how to bake their own bread and even maintaining a chicken or two to provide eggs would help out. Some I know even raise rabbits for meat. The hard part is convincing the kids that the cute widdle bunnies are NOT pets.
Great find there with those videos. Thanks for posting it.
