Grandma Betty's Recipe Box: 100 Old-Time Recipes for Pennies a Plate

100 old-time American recipes from Grandma Betty's red tin recipe box, written out clean, with the real cost of every plate printed right on the page. Plus 3 bonuses.

Groceries cost more every week. Grandma's generation fed a family of six on a mill worker's pay, with no boxes of mix and nothing thrown away. This book is how she did it.

Every recipe shows what it costs today, figured from the national average grocery prices the U.S. government publishes and rounded up. Two out of three cost less than a dollar a plate. Not one costs more than two.

Every page gives you:

1. What it costs a plate and for the whole batch

2. Grandma's ingredients on a recipe card, nothing fancy

3. The step-by-step, with the signs to look for, not just the minutes

4. Betty's handwritten note, the trick that makes it work
