Cheap food - Ghetto ingenuity at its best

[Kid Afrika]

What kind of food have you eaten when you were truly broke?

Here are some examples...

Fried Cheerios - Cheerios sauted in a li'l bit of butter and salt to taste.

Homemade Chex Mix - Chex cereal in place of the cheerios.

Cinnamin Toast - Self-explanatory

Ramen noodles (I still eat 'em)

Cream Chipped beef on toast - Cream soup with sliced beef cold cuts over toast.

Chicken for a week (from one chicken) - Chicken soup, Cream chicken over noodles, chicken and drop noodles...

Potatoes - fried, twice-baked, scalloped w/ ham, potato pancakes

Kool aid

Cookie dough - flour, egg, butter and sugar (we couldn't afford chocolate chips)
