Editor's Note: I think they want thrifty living advice from anyone who lived through WWII. I don't think the location is important, just what we can learn from them.

I was a small child during WWII but I do remember that everyone who had the least bit of backyard grew vegetables. It was called a Victory Garden. My MIL told me how she saw a sign in a restaurant about putting sugar in your coffee. Something like "Use just a little bit and stir like H-LL".

i would love to know just how you survived. were there really recipes that were cheaper to make with the things you had on hand. i hear people say that there are cheaper recipes but they all have beans in them.
