I hear when you bake with them, they taste like peanuts. I don't know, I had some soy nuts and didn't care for them. I gave them away. But since you're 'tight on food', see if your pal or neighbor, or co-worker has something he or she can trade with you, for them.
Sandy,
If you have cake recipes calling for peanuts, almonds, etc. perhaps you could sub an equal amt. of the soy nuts. If the persons eating the cake doesn't know, will they be able to detect the difference?? (o;

I found this site on the web, with 25 recipes for using soy nuts.

Worth a try. I had a child born at 6 1/2 months (my baby who is now 36) with allergies to cows milk, wheat, eggs, chicken and dozens of other things. She lived on soy products, rice and lamb til she was 8, and by then outgrew the problems and is now a healthy mom herself.
check out the website westonaprice.org and see what they say about soy products. there may be a good reason they don't taste good to you. you may have a problem with soy. trust your instincts (or your tongue) if you must use them, make pet food or see if the birds will eat them.
You can make soynut butter by grinding them up in a food processor until creamy. You can probably find a recipe online. Also, they are a nice crunchy topping for salads.
I'd finely grind them in the food processor, store them in the freezer and then when I made bread I'd substitute some for some of the flour, a couple of tablespoons per cup of flour, or in addition to the flour. They could be used in any savory baked goods as part of the flour, but I'd use them in yeast breads.

you could try mixing them in a trail mix with dried fruits, rasins, chocolate chips, or whatever you like. You could also try them as a substitute for baked goods that call for peanuts.
Good luck, I have tried them and I liked them, maybe they are an aquired taste?
