Redditors Are Sharing Some Of Their Favorite Childhood Meals That Their Parents Turned To When Money Was Tight

Thank god for Reddit, once again. Just when we thought that we were the only ones scrounging around for food as children, Reddit comes through. Thousands of Reddit users threw out the creative meals that their parents would make them regularly because it’s cheap.

From a straight up mustard sandwich to a celery and Cheez-Whiz meal, there were some pretty interesting answers. Luckily for you, this article has picked out the best ones that might give you nostalgia, and you’ll also probably want to add it to your cookbook.

It’s Boujee Mac’n’Cheese

This was actually a dream as a kid. We loved hot dogs and loved Mac n Cheese so it was really just a match made in heaven. Anytime you could have hot dogs meant that it was going to be a really really good day. This meal in total probably cost about one dollar a bowl, and it’s very worth it.
