learningmama Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Oh yeah- we also NEVER had real butter and I loved Lucky Charms, but often would only eat the marshmallows. AHHHHH!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Margerine, government cheese, canned meat (including spam), pilot bread, occasionally canned veggies, canned milk, and moose meat. We lived 15 minutes from fabulous salmon streams, but my mom didn't like the smell of fish. One holiday, my dad got a turkey from work. My mom made stuffing from bread crusts and spam. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermomster Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Skillet fried bologna with cheap American cheese in the middle. Hamburger helper. Microwave baked potatoes. Chicken and rice. Some canned green bean concoction with diced tomatoes on top. Lots of boxed mac and cheese, straight from the pot naturally. Any kind of generic cereal or pop tart that you can imagine.

Lang Syne Boardie Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It is a wonder we're all alive. Or maybe we're just well-preserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
learningmama Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 This thread is cracking me up! :rofl: Such memories. My grandma used to get the government cheese and liked to buy several day old birthday cakes on clearance. It was always a joke with my cousins and aunt that we had to "check the date on the cake" before we ate it. My grandparents were not poor and grandma could have easily made a simple cake, but I guess she figured she could save a few bucks. :confused: Oh, and I loved fluff on my pb sandwiches and I remember the chinese chow mein stuff in the can too! I did like it when my mom made homemade ham salad sandwiches and roast in the crock pot. But that happened once in a blue moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandma used to get the government cheese and liked to buy several day old birthday cakes on clearance... Wow! I'm amazed that so many others had "gub'ment" cheese too! And we all lived to tell the story. :tongue_smilie: The story about "this isn't 'governor' cheese at McDonald's was funny! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
