I was 14 years old until I realized that you didn't have to "cut" your milk with half powdered milk!

Yep, mom would save the gallon containers and mix a gallon of powdered milk, thinking that we could not tell the difference. That crap was awful.

Yup, and pizza was for special occasions like birthday's. To this day, I can't throw away food. It goes from fresh tonight, to leftovers until it is gone or gets questionable, then the dog gets it.
We never starved growing up but the cupboards definitely got thin from time to time. Mom did good getting the most out of every supply. Once things got ugly, dad would come up with some crazy concoction, soup in the cold and who knows what in the warm weather. Sometimes it was anything on toast or saltines when the bread ran out.

Yep, never felt like we were without. I still love fried spam sandwiches!

We didn't do SPAM but corned beef in a can along with some mashed potatoes made for a good meal.
Have you seen the price of SPAM lately? Like it is a survivorist specialty!

Now this is just sad. It's like when your friend in school got in trouble and had to sit in the corner up front and could only make faces when the teacher wasn't looking!

Dads crazy concoction was called cooks surprise. Or the old military thang called Shit on a shingle.

You got lucky with Spam. We didn't buy any extra meat. We just used the baloney. Still love me some fried baloney sammiches!

What, nobody else had pancakes with butter 2x a week for dinner growing up?
Or, boiled pasta and tomato soup baked in the oven and called Italian casserole for Fridays during lent?
