25 Soul Food Dishes Under $3 That Black Grandmas Made Every Week

My grandmother never went to the grocery store without a number in her head. Not a list. A number. The exact amount she had to spend and not a cent more. She fed seven people on three dollars and forty cents and had enough left over to start the next pot. Nobody in her house owned a cookbook. Nobody needed one. These are 25 of the dishes she made every single week. The ones that cost almost nothing and tasted like everything. 👇 Tell me in the comments which one you grew up eating. What did your grandmother call it — and what did she put in it that I didn't mention?
