Maybe save a few cents?

5. My mother was a real 1960s cook.

She didn’t like to cook much to begin with and my Dad only liked red meat. We ate a lot of meat loaf, Swiss steak, Sunday roast. Canned vegetables and canned fruit. No salads, no pasta (my dad hated pasta). Chicken once in a while and Dad would complain about it but we kids loved it. To this day I cannot even look at Swiss steak.

I think you do really well experimenting with different foods and being frugal, Marthe48!

I noticed the individually wrapped chocolate candies sold by the pound in my local store (made locally) went up from $8 to $12/lb. since March! ☹️.
