Food we ate when first married

When we were first married, we had to really watch our money. Michael was a senior in college, and I only made $800.00 a month. Michael worked a few hours on Saturdays, and that went to pay for books and fees for college. I got my paycheck at the beginning of the month, so that had to last us all month long. We would get to the last week of the month, and we would be cleaning out the cupboards big time. We made some of the strangest food during that time.

These are some of the foods we ate to save money then (I would not think of eating this now):

• Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
• Ramen noodles
• Cheap Mac and Cheese
• Tuna Noodle Casserole
• Chicken tetazzini
