How To Feed A Family Of Five On $5.00 Per Week Or 14 Cents Per Person Per Day During Spring And Summer

Buy about the same staple foods as suggested for the foregoing menus. Use less bread and cooked porridge or mushes. Buy more starchy fruits, such as bananas, stone fruits, melons and raw vegetables; combine them with toasted bread or raw cereal flakes. For those who eat two meals per day and have a late breakfast, it is better to combine fruits with nuts for breakfast in place of cereals. Use rich milk or cream with fruits for supper in place of those foods suggested in menus for supper. For other combinations study menus.
