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.

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".

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 am a senior and still use recipes that my mother used way back when. One recipe calls for stewed tomatoes, cooked egg noodles and hamburger. The other one was used during the mess halls at war sites. This was cooked and drained hamburger with white sauce.

Spoon this combination over toast or bread. To make white sauce. In a bowl combine alittle flour and water to make a thick sauce and add to the hamburger.
