Food Costs

I’m Miriam Neff, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money.

M We know that God provides.  However, we may think we should advise God as to what we need.  Bad idea.  I grew up on a poor farm where we only ate what we grew.  Large garden, lots of work.

V Mom your stories of fried left over gravy as a meal doesn’t sound good.  Making pies from green grapes because a blight would rot them before they became inedible, another non-delicacy in my book.  And vinegar pie when you can’t afford lemons?  Somehow you were all strong and healthy.

M We share this not as menu ideas.  Only that people are flexible.  Inflation impacting our grocery budgets require that we flex.  Select carefully within that budget.
