You might have to pay a minimal cost, but it is a fraction of what you would spend otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>I would also suggest adding to your meals things that will stretch out the meal. Such as rice, potatoes, making soups, eating oatmeal etc.<\/p>\n<p>Cut back or remove the junk food. It costs more than any of us realize; health and finances.<\/p>\n<p>Another suggestion is to look into meals from the Great depression era and from the world war II era. Those people had to make meals on little so they can teach us a thing or two.<\/p>\n<p>Hope that helps some<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bam N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Somewhere you may be able to find a \u201cfree meal\u201d could be if you go to a loved one\u2019s house or if you have things in your fridge or pantry I\u2019m sure you can find something to make out of it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michel F.
