Save by Using Inexpensive Foods

These are some of the ways I feed my family on a small amount of money. They enjoy fried mush for breakfast and this is very inexpensive. I make the mush very thick and mold it in a breadpan. In the morning I turn it out and slice it and sauté it on both sides. We split the slices and butter them. I can serve four breakfasts for three people on ten cents' worth of corn-meal and a half pound of butter. Sometimes I add pork sausage to the mush and do not use butter. I fry the sausage, add a pint and a half of water and a cup of corn-meal. This is molded after it is cooked and is sautéd the same as plain mush. Left-over potatoes make excellent dumplings. I also make head-cheese. This is very inexpensive and delicious. -Mrs. C. M., St. Louis, Mo.
