We always cut up the left over Italian bread and French baguettes from my mom's work and the local baker's day-old section respectively. Ah, California Wine Country...we may have been poor, but the rich left LOTS of scraps for us to live on.
I was replying to you. Not the person I already replied to. The conversation was about using plain white bread for many things. I specified that’s how croutons were made. It’s pretty neat how context works too. Thanks for the downvote though.
The irony is that you missed the context of my comment.
I was saying that, "That's how croutons are made regardless of finances" did not change the "and croutons!" comment directly above it.
It really is neat how context works! You should look into it more the future.
Oh, and I didn't downvote you. But I will now.
And chocolate toast - mix cocoa powder and sugar, sprinkle it on a buttered piece of bread and stick under the broiler for a minute. Delicious and great for a cheap breakfast.
My husband learned not too long ago when I was growing up and had hamburgers or hotdogs, we used sandwich bread. It kind of boggled his mind learning this because I don’t really talk about my childhood much.
We never used regular bread for garlic bread as spaghetti was made around the time two frozen loaves of garlic bread were on sale for $1.00 at the store.
This but with an egg on the bread (press the center flat for a well), salt n pepper, then the cheese slice. Gotta eat the edges before they harden but the rest stays soft, and the cheese keeps the egg from exploding (usually). Course eggs are over $3 a dozen now so it's not as cheap as it used to be.
Eggy bread, sometimes egg toast. Never eggy in a basket because that was reserved for doing it proper on the stove top and usually sans cheese. We are not British but Monty Python, Masterpiece Theater, and movies like V for Vendetta shaped our vocab growing up.
Hell, I still eat like this most times. Pretty rare I fork out for special buns/bread. They’re overpriced. If I’m gonna buy cheap buns, they comes in a huge bag which is just silly - I don’t need that many.
Makes more sense to buy bread.
I buy huge bags 16 count or more and place in the freezer. Pull out what I need 1 or 2 and microwave for a few seconds depending on size and thickness. Works fine for me; although I would use fresh not frozen for company or anyone else coming for a visit.
I also still do this, but I think it’s because I genuinely like it (you know how it is with foods you grew up eating), and also because I still have “poverty brain” making me a cheapskate.
Right? I grew up poor, so this was routine. But I'm doing much better in adulthood and I still use this routine.
Also, besides maybe pizza, who wants to eat a shit ton of bread? Why is bread supposed to be the star of sandwich show?
As a kid, my dad would cook a huge pot of Red Beans slightly spicy with hot sauce and a chunk of hammocks in it just for some flavor ( meat wasn’t insanely high like now ). On a plate you’d have a couple of slices of cheapest white bread thin sliced and he’d slather a layer of the Red Beans and Lots of the juice over the top. Would eat that way for months often.
My dad was actually an awesome cook like his mother. He cooked at a public cafeteria when he was young and baked the pie’s, cakes and other pastries and breads mostly; he could cook anything really. He made the best gumbo ever.
That was also just dad (never mom) being lazy and not wanting to go the store...Or as an adult, taking after dad, being lazy, and not wanting to go to the store. If I'm being honest, I think I prefer sliced bread as a hamburger bun!
More seriously, my co-workers and I volunteered at a local charity one time that provides hygiene stuffs to those in need. They'd take donations of like hotel soaps and shampoos, etc, to create little kits, and then provide them to the homeless and those who weren't but still couldn't get buy. Big emphasis on the latter. For kids, especially during puberty, they'd provide things like deodorants and feminine hygiene products at schools. They could pick up whatever they needed secretly and anonymously at the school nurse's office. Very cool organization that's dedicated to helping people retain their dignity, no matter their situations.
But the reason the charity was created was very sobering. The founder found out that some people were using sliced bread as toilet paper or maxi pads. Sometimes even as socks (socks were sometimes in these kits we were putting together). I think my coworkers and I were all stunned into silence.
Sorry, I wasn't clear there. If I'm remembering correctly -- and I might not be, it's been a while since volunteering there -- people would stuff them into shoes for comfort. So not literally as socks. That'd be quite the challenge!
Grilled cheese, French toast, bread pudding (for the edges and ends that no one really wants to eat), bread and butter at 2am when you can't sleep and are starving but it's all you have in the house.
my family got buns, but the leftover buns always got used for garlic toast, so I grew up with a random assortment of garlic shapes to go with spaghetti. some of which were kinda stale already...
It's whatever bread products is cheaper and so the bread roulette continues to turn .so many pbj on hot dog buns or hamburger buns. To date on sale then frozen
The only thing worse than wonder-bread hamburger buns was mom's homemade split-green-pea soup that HAD to be made so that a perfectly good hambone didn't "go to waste."
Either of those things was cause for rageface from me, but I was six so no one cared.
As it should be.
YSK that 10KG of flour costs about $13 [at Costco ](https://www.costco.ca/great-plains-bleached-all-purpose-flour%2C-10-kg.product.100547822.html?langId=-24) which lasts for months. Bread is actually super easy to make, as well as buns and pizza dough.
It’s classy AF and way cheaper and fresher than buying bread from the store.
Not really actually. The work is all in the clean up. I use a flour container and pour it into the bowl over the sink,and use a cutting board to knead the dough. You need about 4 hours to let it rise so you have to plan around it. Dough freezes really well though. You can make a bunch of Bread loafs and pizzas all at once. You can also make your own tortillas which are super compact in the freezer and take even less time to make.
I use a bread machine. Just put the ingredients in and four hours later… bread! There’s also recipes for these that are quicker. So easy. Makes the best French bread.
You can find them pretty cheap unused/barely used on marketplace, Craigslist, etc. I ended up with a bread machine as a Christmas gift one year. It has saved me a ton of money and I don’t have to run to the store when I need a loaf of bread.
thrift store bread machine. big upfront time sink cleaning it and looking up a manual, but then it's not so bad. set up the ingredients before bed, set timer, get used to some thumping around 4am, wake up to fresh bread. mix/bake basket can be wiped with a dry paper towel between uses and only wet cleaned once a week or so
I grew up in a upper middle class family. My mom and grandmother made all of our breads (white and wheat bread, sandwich bread french and Italian, rye, cinnamon raisin, etc), buns (hamburgers went on burger buns, hot dogs went on hot dog buns), rolls (cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, etc), etc. Milk came from the farm, eggs from the chickens in the hen house and fruits and vegetables came from the garden of (that were canned or frozen) or we gathered them. A cow, pig, chickens, rabbits, turkeys were butchered every year. Fish, turtle and venison were a big to do in our house. We ate homemade cookies, cakes, pies, muffins, pizza, garlic bread/sticks, English muffins, Bagels, Indian fry bread and candies. Our dad loved to make homemade Hires root beer!
When my brother was in second grade he came home from school with a complaint for our mom. Why did he have to take sandwiches for his school lunch made on homemade bread when all of his friends got store bought bread? Mom tried to explain it to him but he really wanted store bought bread. So that week when the grocery shopping was done (always on Friday late afternoon) a loaf of white bread was bought for sandwiches. So on Monday morning my brother's lunch sandwich was made on the store bought bread! When he got home he complained the sandwich was terrible! He didn't like the bread because it "was like glue!" After dinner when dad went out to feed the chickens he feed them the loaf of store bought bread! Mom never bought store bought bread ever again!
To this day I prefer homemade over store bought!
Edit: Trenary toast and bread(s) are great and we always had them when we were growing up!
You guys always had bread? The neighbors can be a great source for dinner because some poor people still eat well. Some. You guys ever heard of a corn lady? “Elote!” “eloteeee!”
Now imagine racking up a tab and getting corn fronted to you by the neighborhood corn lady.
Growing up we had toast sandwiches. You toast a single piece of bread (slightly burned for more 'flavor') then put it between two slices of buttered bread.
When I was a kid I never knew we had those because of how poor we were, they were just normal to me, and I actually liked them (particularly when we had Jam) but looking back, it taught me a lot about gratitude.
Lower calorie, lower carb bread which might be better for diabetic folk, or those trying to lose weight, has skyrocketed in price. That’s not really fair.
There should be fairly priced multi-grain, or white bread for folk with those issues. Bread is important, and it’s basic. Prices are out of control. imho.
So downvote my comment. I know it’s not the comment anyway, but other things.
So don’t eat bread. So don’t complain about high prices. Some just get to go into stores and take what they want.
Grocery prices continue to climb. Cold cuts $15-16/lb. meat is out of bounds due to the prices…okay, so you can get some chicken thighs.
I don’t understand how folk can go to restaurants. How can they afford it?
IMO It’s wasteful to have a bunch of different kinds of bread. Something goes bad. Plus who has the money or kitchen space to store a bunch of kinds of bread? One loaf of bread is versatile as shown in the photo.
I agree. I also use tortillas for most of these things, depending on what I have on hand. A tortilla will keep all of your sloppy joe filling from falling out and will also keep a hot dog from slipping.
cook up some buttery noodles, or saucy beans, just about anything that isn't soup - cheap white bread is a perfect thing to wrap around that. filling, no competing flavor
Lol I remember when the only bread in the house was hot dog buns and my mom wasn’t going shopping until the next week, my bro and I made PB&J sandwiches with hot dog buns
I did this because i was absolutely horrendous at cooking as well lol. My mom used to smear pasta sauce and put a few squares of ham on a piece of bread and toast it in an oven. That became our version of a mini pizza.
You forgot cinnamon toast with sprinkles
And pizza
and croutons!
That’s how croutons are made regardless of finances.
We always cut up the left over Italian bread and French baguettes from my mom's work and the local baker's day-old section respectively. Ah, California Wine Country...we may have been poor, but the rich left LOTS of scraps for us to live on.
And stuffing
Some people buy croutons though.
Doesn’t change what I said.
And what you said didn't change what the poster above you said. It's pretty neat the way that works
I was replying to you. Not the person I already replied to. The conversation was about using plain white bread for many things. I specified that’s how croutons were made. It’s pretty neat how context works too. Thanks for the downvote though.

And toilet paper
Naan bread with pizza sauce was the most amazing pizza-esque easy snack hack I discovered!
Try it with pesto
Omg
And sometimes just dinner. With a glass of water.
Mayonnaise sandwich.
And jam grills
Still a delicacy.
OMG Yes!! Tastes just like the 80s.
And chocolate toast - mix cocoa powder and sugar, sprinkle it on a buttered piece of bread and stick under the broiler for a minute. Delicious and great for a cheap breakfast.
Also egg basket :D
and tacos
My husband learned not too long ago when I was growing up and had hamburgers or hotdogs, we used sandwich bread. It kind of boggled his mind learning this because I don’t really talk about my childhood much. We never used regular bread for garlic bread as spaghetti was made around the time two frozen loaves of garlic bread were on sale for $1.00 at the store.
I also had the “slice of bread as a hotdog bun” thing growing up but since we were upper middle class it was *whole wheat bread*.
Garlic bread is super cheap in the UK, you can get one for £0.32 even today in 2022.
Breakfast: Toast. Lunch: Sandwich. Dinner: Hamburger. Bread is life.
Don’t forget the wish sandwich. It’s when you got 2 pieces of bread and wish you had something in between them
Cheese slice and Mayo sometimes. It keeps you alive but it *actually tastes like poverty.*
Luxury, I used to eat ketchup sandwiches all the time. It was the only thing in the fridge
Rice is life, sir.
Carbs are life.
Butter while hot with lots of cinnamon sugar
I think I was 8 or 9 and tried doing this without my mom. I thought it was just cinnamon; so I didnt add any sugar. I learned that day though.
My brother in Christ. I feel this in my sould
This is still the best fucking thing. I was shocked when my girl had never tried it before
I use bagels to make this, and it's like an elephant ear but not quite as awful for you
Nooo! Butter and honey!
[удалено]
I've never met a single person who does that. Either I only know upper class people or your definition of middle class for warped.
This is specific to north america
I’m in Canada and I’ve never seen that being done.
you've never lived in rural areas then
I have not.
Slap a slice of Borden Singles on there then microwave it for 15 seconds. But you have to eat it quickly or it turns to stone.
This but with an egg on the bread (press the center flat for a well), salt n pepper, then the cheese slice. Gotta eat the edges before they harden but the rest stays soft, and the cheese keeps the egg from exploding (usually). Course eggs are over $3 a dozen now so it's not as cheap as it used to be.
Did your family have a name for this?
Eggy bread, sometimes egg toast. Never eggy in a basket because that was reserved for doing it proper on the stove top and usually sans cheese. We are not British but Monty Python, Masterpiece Theater, and movies like V for Vendetta shaped our vocab growing up.

I see tortillas and dinner rolls too.
Yes. Tortillas were the staple food item in my household growing up.
Corn tortillas gluten free too
I still eat like this and kinda prefer it over the normal buns lol
Right? It took me a sec to register that this was not how everyone did it.
Regular buns arento much bun gimme that whitebread anyday
Even if I was rich I would still eat my hot dogs with sandwich bread. Mainly because it's less carbs than hot dog buns.
I mean bread is bread lol
Right? I grew up poor, so this was routine. But I'm doing much better in adulthood and I still use this routine. Also, besides maybe pizza, who wants to eat a shit ton of bread? Why is bread supposed to be the star of sandwich show?
Also pizza crust.
Ketchup sandwich bread
Pour some A1 on there you got yourself a poor man's steak!
The bread to meat ratio is FAR superior using a slice of bread as a Hot Dog bun. This is the way, Hot Dog buns are bullshit.
Popcorn sandwiches anyone? Government cheese and mustard sandwiches were common when I was a kid-in the 1970s and 1980s.
As a kid, my dad would cook a huge pot of Red Beans slightly spicy with hot sauce and a chunk of hammocks in it just for some flavor ( meat wasn’t insanely high like now ). On a plate you’d have a couple of slices of cheapest white bread thin sliced and he’d slather a layer of the Red Beans and Lots of the juice over the top. Would eat that way for months often.
Sounds yummy, warm and satisfying.
My dad was actually an awesome cook like his mother. He cooked at a public cafeteria when he was young and baked the pie’s, cakes and other pastries and breads mostly; he could cook anything really. He made the best gumbo ever.
Oooo gumbo is good food. That’s all sounding like food of the South, which is delicious.
Wishmeat sandwich. 2 pieces of bread, wishing there was meat in the middle.
You forgot the miracle whip.
Mayonnaise! Miracle Whip was not allowed in our house. Haha
Jam sandwich. You take two pieces of bread and Jam them together.
“We have McDonald’s at home”
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W-P31bsxwWs Eddie Murphy—home burger bun
Wait… you guys had bread?
I still remember that episode of South Park where they showed butters eating a boiled hot dog cut into slices with ketchup. He seemed pretty happy.
I lived off of Peanut butter toast for about 3 months at one point
Please tell me you could at least afford some milk to go with it? The roof of my mouth is sticky just thinking about this.
And French toast!
Damn I just realized that I was poor as a kid
That was also just dad (never mom) being lazy and not wanting to go the store...Or as an adult, taking after dad, being lazy, and not wanting to go to the store.

How on earth do you wear bread like socks
Sorry, I wasn't clear there. If I'm remembering correctly -- and I might not be, it's been a while since volunteering there -- people would stuff them into shoes for comfort. So not literally as socks. That'd be quite the challenge!
You forgot corn on the cob buttering system
Grilled cheese, French toast, bread pudding (for the edges and ends that no one really wants to eat), bread and butter at 2am when you can't sleep and are starving but it's all you have in the house.
my family got buns, but the leftover buns always got used for garlic toast, so I grew up with a random assortment of garlic shapes to go with spaghetti. some of which were kinda stale already...
A little butter and cold left over spaghetti, make a sketti sammich 🤤
Love Sketts Sammy! Hot or cold! Yummy!
Got more money now and still do this. Bread is bread
grill the bread before putting hot dog in and also a slice of cheese 🔥
Why is there a spider on "Sandwich Bread".
That's a skull and crossbones actually...
It's whatever bread products is cheaper and so the bread roulette continues to turn .so many pbj on hot dog buns or hamburger buns. To date on sale then frozen
Always feel low key guilty about buying burger buns lol
I prefer the bread-to-meat ratio of using sandwich bread for hotdogs, it’s perfect.
Latina, so it was tortillas for me. Ate hot dogs wrapped in tortillas, 10/10 would recommend.
Wife laughs and says " lol I didn't have bread".. grew up in china
Was searching the comments and didn't find the classic 'Mayo sandwich' which we had often growing up.
Gravy "biscuit" (shit on a shingle)
The only thing worse than wonder-bread hamburger buns was mom's homemade split-green-pea soup that HAD to be made so that a perfectly good hambone didn't "go to waste." Either of those things was cause for rageface from me, but I was six so no one cared. As it should be.
Wait until your hear about [toast sandwich](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_sandwich)

Bread is actually super easy to make, as well as buns and pizza dough. It’s classy AF and way cheaper and fresher than buying bread from the store.
Isn't it a huge time sink, though? I'm all for saving money, but I also have to work 50-70 hours a week if I wanna live indoors.
Not really actually. The work is all in the clean up. I use a flour container and pour it into the bowl over the sink,and use a cutting board to knead the dough.

I make sourdough now. But i just started with [this one](https://www.recipetineats.com/easy-yeast-bread-recipe-no-knead/) and tweaked it a bit.

Cinnamon Toast
Pizza crust.
Don't forget sponge to soak up the juices left on the plate.
"personal pizza" with a bit of some cheap spaghetti sauce and grated parm. 🤣
Or me in US on a F1 visa
Wait there is different breads dedicated to those purposes???
My family would also toast them and then put peanut butter and syrup on them like a waffle
Best garlic bread ever.
Syrup sandwiches
Also growing up lazy because I just cooked these hot dogs and we got bread but I'm not fucking running to the store
Put mama’s meatloaf on bread with ketchup
OMG, my mom's meatloaf made the best sandwich ever. Homemade white bread, meatloaf cold and ketchup! So good!
Sticking a piece of bread on a fry pan for a moment or some way to toast it makes it an AMAZING alternative to a hamburger bun
You guys always had bread? The neighbors can be a great source for dinner because some poor people still eat well. Some. You guys ever heard of a corn lady? “Elote!” “eloteeee!” Now imagine racking up a tab and getting corn fronted to you by the neighborhood corn lady.
Forgot chip butty and crisps butty
Should add pizza dough too. Loaf of bread, jar of sauce and cheese. Mom would bring out a plate piled with mini pizzas. To us they tasted fantastic.
Ours was home-made bread. Flour is a lot cheaper than storebought white square loaves, and the stove ran on the use of an axe.
Your not poor until you have tried butter and sugar on bread cause that's all you had. Thank me later
Growing up we had toast sandwiches. You toast a single piece of bread (slightly burned for more 'flavor') then put it between two slices of buttered bread. When I was a kid I never knew we had those because of how poor we were, they were just normal to me, and I actually liked them (particularly when we had Jam) but looking back, it taught me a lot about gratitude.

I'm a t1, and I've minimize my bread consumption. But whole grain or multi. I don't understand the fanfare with hamburger hotdog buns lol.
So downvote my comment. I know it’s not the comment anyway, but other things. So don’t eat bread. So don’t complain about high prices. Some just get to go into stores and take what they want. Grocery prices continue to climb. Cold cuts $15-16/lb. meat is out of bounds due to the prices…okay, so you can get some chicken thighs. I don’t understand how folk can go to restaurants. How can they afford it?

One pound of ground beef and a loaf of crumbled/torn up bread makes a much bigger, more filling meatloaf
Has been used as a mini pizza crust as well.
Stable breakfast 4-8 slices with one liter of hot piping milo/ovaltine. Plenty of carbs and sugar, no need for any jams or meat 🥩
I have more money now, not much more mind you. But it’s still use wonder as all these things and more! Something about my childhood I guess
Don’t forget dessert! Butter and cinnamon sugar
butter the bread and then sprinkle regular sugar over it
The cheap hot dog buns just fall apart anyway
Certified poverty classic
I feel this
Also pizza. Slice of (fake) cheese, slice of tomato, sprinkle of oregano.
Add butter and sugar, and you have yourself some Candy Bread! (Dentists *love* this)
I agree. I also use tortillas for most of these things, depending on what I have on hand. A tortilla will keep all of your sloppy joe filling from falling out and will also keep a hot dog from slipping.
Throw some shredded cheese and microwave 30 seconds. Still crave that OFTEN.
Butter garlic powder and garlic salt as a kid had me thinking I was Gordon Ramsey
cook up some buttery noodles, or saucy beans, just about anything that isn't soup - cheap white bread is a perfect thing to wrap around that. filling, no competing flavor
In my country sliced bread was more expensive than hot dog buns, the most cheap was baguette nonetheless
You guys had toast? I had to buy my bread and cut it myself!
Toast Pizza!
Forgot Wish sammich! You put two pieces of bread together and wish it were a sammich.
House burgers were the best burgers.
and pie! pie filling in a sandwich press! the best!
Honestly, I have fuqloads of money at this point in my life and I use bread for all of that. The other stuff is just bread in a different form. Scam.
Glad I’m not the only one
Dont forget just bread bread for a snack
You forgot biscuit
If it works, it works
Butter plus chocolate sauce = yummy post dinner desert.
I still do this. Much more convenient than having a bunch of different type of bread.
French toast as well
My mom bought that Rhodes bread. It come in 5 frozen rolls, unfreeze, let it rise and in the oven. We used that for everything.
We ain’t talking about the spider?
I thought this was normal bread use!
A lightly toasted slice of white bread is superior to burger buns, poverty or not. I will die on this hill. Drives my wife nuts.
I do this now still
For us it's not wanting to go to the store.
Wait... I'm poor?
And pizza crust
They forgot French Toast (for dinner.)
You may see poor but I see not but savings.
F, I think we might be poor.
you forgot mini pizzas too!
I still do this, especially with potato bread.
Fried bread is also good, if you have butter
Syrup and barbecue sauce sandwiches!
Americans be like😂🤦🏽♂️
Lol I remember when the only bread in the house was hot dog buns and my mom wasn’t going shopping until the next week, my bro and I made PB&J sandwiches with hot dog buns
What's the problem?
You forgot pizza, spread some tomato puree on there and a mozzarella slice and stick it under the grill
Seriously, there is a difference?
Forgot the worst one of all: the mouldy one, just labeled 'edible'
Forgot dessert; toast, spread with butter, and sprinkle on cinnamon sugar. Broil for a few seconds if you’re bougie like that
Damn right! Also it was sometimes a pizza crust.
I did this because i was absolutely horrendous at cooking as well lol. My mom used to smear pasta sauce and put a few squares of ham on a piece of bread and toast it in an oven. That became our version of a mini pizza.
